About the Item

FREDERICK GEORGE RICHARD ROTH United States, 1872-1944 Hissing Cat (1913) Lost-wax cast bronze Signed in cast "Copyright 1913 by FGR ROTH / Gorham Co Founder ORP" Item # 208NKJ18H An exquisite lost-wax casting of Hissing Cat by Frederick G.R. Roth executed by the Gorham Foundry, it is a fine example with a nuanced overall dark-brown surface patina with auburn relief throughout the texture of the surface. The cat is beautifully captured with an arched back and tension in her body that is fully expressed in her withdrawn ears and sharp hiss. An example that highlights Roth's ability to capture the sensitive details of his subjects and highlight their personality with a carefully selected moment - here the coy irritation of this household cat is well-represented without any sense of aggression or tension in the image as she pulls in her head and looks up at her likely human offender. The model is signed along the base and is cold-stamped with the foundry markings. The underside is filled with plaster and covered in an early green baize. Measurements: 5 1/2" H x 3 3/4" D x 5 3/4" W Condition Report: Excellent original condition, no observed flaws; carefully cleaned and sealed in conservator-grade wax. Early green baize to underside with various labels attached.
