Description

Life-Size Borzoi Dog Sculpture — White-Painted Terracotta, 88 lbs

A seated Borzoi rendered at life-size scale in terracotta with a painted white finish, consistent with Italian decorative production of the 1960s–70s. The modeling is confident throughout — the characteristic narrow muzzle held high, ears folded back, and a full flowing coat rendered in long carved striations from mane to haunches. At 88 pounds, this is a serious floor sculpture built for permanence, the kind of statement piece that has anchored period interiors and editorial spaces for decades.

No maker’s marks or stamps identified.


CONDITION

Good. The sculpture is structurally intact with no cracks to the body. Minor chips to the bottom edge are difficult to see in normal placement, and heavy crazing is present throughout the painted surface.
