An elegant and highly tactile contemporary bronze sculpture of a big cat (leopard/jaguar) by acclaimed Santa Fe artist and sculptor Michael Tatom. This piece showcases Tatom’s signature style: stripping away unnecessary detail to celebrate the animal's fluid grace, muscular arch, and elegant contours. The bronze is finished in a specialized, multi-toned spotted patina that brilliantly captures the organic rosettes of a wild feline body. This is a rare, small-scale masterwork that is rich with documentation. The sculpture is incised with the artist's signature on its tail. The underside of the paws feature complete markings, including the limited edition number 197/250 on one foot, and the initials SF NM on another, certifying its origin and casting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Measuring a refined 3.19 inches in width, this desktop bronze has a wonderful, heavy hand-feel and serves as a sophisticated addition to any collection of contemporary Western art or wildlife sculpture. The sculpture is in pristine gallery condition, completely free of scratches, surface loss, or alterations to its original hand-applied patina.
