This expressive early 20th century wood sculpture signed by J. Zanetti depicts an elephant mid-stride, a tiger resting below, and a nude female rider in an animated pose. Carved from richly grained, varnished wood, the figures are captured in motion, the elephant's legs striding forward. Seated atop the elephant, the woman's swirling coiffure and outstretched arm convey a sense of vitality and farewell.
The energetic composition and Art Déco stylization reflect early 20th century african Modernism, as artists blended european avant-garde art with indigenous cultural motifs. Sculpting the wood's organic textures, Zanetti achieves a fluid, modernist rhythm. The emotionally evocative work synthesizes african folkloric themes and modernist figurativism in a vivid, animated tableau.
