Zawadi
African Wild Hunting Dog

2024

About the Item

African Wild Hunting Dog – With an impressive 80 percent success rate, wild dogs are among Africa’s most effective predators. Lions only prevail around 30 percent of the time. Even with their finely honed hunting skills, they are one of the world’s most endangered large carnivores. Like satellite dishes, the large rounded ears of African wild dogs swivel to detect minute sounds in the distance. These dogs have only 4 toes as they lack the 5th dew claw that other dogs have. With Zawadi’s eye for detail, this is clearly shown in our sculpture. To see these beautiful animals in the wild is a true privilege and a special treat. This bronze sculpture was cast using the "lost wax" technique, and great attention was applied to the accuracy and details of this beautiful wild animal. It is a statement piece for discerning buyers, which brings a level of sophistication and appeal, for the ideal home. Zawadi’s sculptures have added features that put them above the rest, such as treating them with a nano-technology protective coating, that protects and enhances the shine, and felt underneath to prevent scratching surfaces. Zawadi takes great care in making sure our sculptures are of the finest quality, to ensure many years of enjoyment !

Signed 'FRATIN' on collar. Bronze length: 37cm Base length: 41cm Bronze height: 18cm Total height: 22cm Christophe Fratin was born in Metz in France in 1801. He first studied sculpture under Pioche in Metz under whom he honed his technical skills. He then became a pupil of the painter Theodore Gericault in Paris where he pursued his career as a sculptor. Fratin first exhibited at the Paris Salon as early as 1831, where he showed ‘Fermer – An English Thoroughbred’. The popularity of Fratin’s sculpture in England had a significant impact on his career. His modelling style reflected his imaginative mind and sense of humour, particularly in his humorous modelling of bears. Fratin was asked to sculpt life-size monuments for French cities, including his home town of Metz. At the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London he was considered the greatest animalier sculptor of the day. Fratin’s bronzes...
