Cheetah Stretching Ingwe FoundryS31 Bronze Sculpture Maquette 3/15 Monogram BMR
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
Bronze study of a stretching cheetah.
RHS under the belly bearing Ingwe Foundry stamp, ‘S31’ or ‘S3I’, Edition 3/15, monogram BMR.
Artist unknown.
I have been unsuccessfully resarching who the artist could be.
The stretching pose of the cheetah is contemplative with a graceful, ease and content expression suggesting its attunement and hierarchy within the landscape and the animal world. Its power is conveyed with a noble quality in the pose, the sleek form and the sinewy musculature.
Beautifully handworked with rich brown patina.
Almost certainly inspired by the work of Dylan Lewis...
