Material
Ivory Glazed Porcelain
Porcelain is the perfect material to carve out the fine, characteristic traits of both man and animal. The interplay of light and shadow, the proportions and the purity of form, even with smaller sculptures like this lying cat, are best brought out in unpainted figures in particular. The cat is part of a group of animal figurines, the production of which only began in the masters’ workshops of the manufactory after 1928. Its archetype was the famous bronze statuettes of the French animal sculptor, Pierre Jules Mênes.
