Our marble sculpture by the Italian artist, Joseph Frugoni (1897-1923) depicts a standing lioness or panther (cougar or puma) bearing its teeth with paw raised on a tree stump.  Signed in script, J Frugoni.

19 by 12 by 7.25 inches (49 by 28 by 18 cm).

Fresh from estate sale, it is in good condition and has numerous scuffs, label residue, surface dirt and an apparent and old chip loss from the tip of one ear.

Frugoni is known for his works in marble, commonly busts, of popular neoclassical subjects, but also created works in the medieval style.  This is the only animal subject by the artist we have seen in our twenty years in business.
