Leopard and Guineafowl, maquette

Notes

With singular elegance and fluidity, Dylan Lewis captures the feline grace of a young leopard and the drama as it swoops in on its guineafowl prey in the present lot. This captivating bronze is brilliantly conceived in the round with the overarching agile cat still in motion and airborne as it closes in on its prey. From the ground up the guineafowl take flight - alert to the danger - completing the circular composition of this bronze that so superbly portrays the momentary tension between predator and prey.
