Bronze Tiger Sculpture signed "Kiyomitsu saku"
Bronze okimono, zoomorphic sculpture depicting a tiger in advancement
The sculpture represents a tiger caught in a moment of strong dynamic tension, with its body stretched forward in advancement, its head turned sideways, and its jaws wide open in a threatening posture.
The modeling reveals careful naturalistic research, especially in the rendering of the musculature, the arching of the back, and the staggered step of the limbs.
The surface is enlivened by rapid and irregular incisions that suggest the striped coat, while the brown patina, modulated by slight tonal variations, helps to give depth and vibration to the material. The long, extended tail further accentuates the horizontal reading of the figure and the feeling of controlled movement.
