Terra cotta sculpture with brown patina, titled "Tigre à l'Affût" (Tiger on the prowl) and signed Thomas Cartier (1879-1943).
Born in Marseille and a pupil of Georges Gardet, Cartier was an award-winning animal sculptor, notably at the 1927 Paris Salon, where he won the gold medal.
This work depicts a tiger striding along, on the lookout for its surroundings.
The artist masterfully depicts every detail of this great hunting feline. An animal as bewitching as it is ruthless.
This sculpture will appeal not only to animal lovers, but also to those who appreciate virtuously crafted objets d'art.
