S. Calì - Figurine - Schnauzer - Galvanized

Schnauzer Dog Sculpture in Terracotta, Copper-Galvanized – Signed S. Calì For sale a splendid and distinctive vintage art sculpture depicting a Schnauzer/Terrier dog in a crouching pose. The work stands out for its extraordinary expressiveness and the richness of the sculptural details of the muzzle, the gaze, and the characteristic coat of the breed.

Calì", a surname of prominence tied to a historic and renowned dynasty of Italian sculptors. A collectible piece ideal for lovers of mid-century modern design, animal sculpture, or for owners and enthusiasts of this splendid breed. • Subject: Schnauzer/Terrier dog • Author: Signed on the base S.
