About the Item
Exceptionally crafted in Italy, this near life-size German Shepherd sculpture in glazed terra cotta captures both loyalty and lifelike detail. Standing approximately 26.5 inches (67 cm) high, with a footprint of about 12 inches (30 cm) wide by 14 inches (36 cm) deep, it weighs around 26 pounds, giving it true presence and substance.
The dog is rendered in portrait-style sitting posture, with a bright expression, tongue slightly out, and sharply attentive eyes. Fur texture, musculature, and paws are carefully sculpted, then hand-painted in naturalistic tones. The glossy glaze adds depth to the colors and brings the figure to life, enhancing highlights and contours. Finished in the round, every angle of the piece reveals meticulous workmanship.
Condition is excellent vintage overall. Subtle repairs at the ear and nose are visible only on close inspection and do not distract from the overall impact. There are no major cracks, and the terracotta remains strong and stable. The base is marked “Made in Italy,” affirming its origin and quality.
This sculpture functions as both fine art and interior statement. It is ideal displayed on the floor in an entryway, anchored beside a fireplace, or raised on a pedestal for dramatic effect. Its warm presence pairs beautifully with natural woods, stone, leather, and richly textured fabrics, and it adds character to both traditional and eclectic interiors.
For collectors of animalier sculpture, vintage Italian ceramics, or decorative art that unites scale, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance, this German Shepherd is an exceptional find. More than a decorative piece, it is a striking example of artistry and timeless appeal.
