Guido RIGHETTI (1875-1958), "Roaring Tiger", sculpture in patinated plaster, signed "G. Righetti on the base". H. 24 x 42 x 26 cm Condition: some light chips Comment: This work by Guido Righetti embodies all the expressive power of early twentieth-century animal sculpture. It displays the academic rigour inherited from his masters, but above all a unique sensitivity that translates the movement and tension of the animal. Guido Righetti is as much a part of the tradition of early 20th-century animal sculpture as Antoine Louis Barye or Emmanuel Frémiet.
