Sirio TOFANARI (1886–1969) - Lot 297
Sirio TOFANARI (1886–1969) Donkey and Anon, c. 1940–1950 Bronze with a light brown patina Signed Dimensions: 43 x 58.8 x 21.7 cm Note: A renowned Italian animal sculptor, Sirio Tofanari is distinguished by the sensitivity of his vision and his ability to naturally capture the postures and emotions of animals. With *Donkey and Foal*, the artist presents a composition imbued with tenderness, celebrating the maternal bond through careful observation of forms and postures. The fluidity of the modeling, the accuracy of the proportions, and the warm nuances of the light brown patina lend the piece a particularly lively presence. Through its endearing subject matter and the quality of its execution, this bronze illustrates the full delicacy of Tofanari’s animal art and constitutes a work full of charm, likely to appeal to both collectors of animal sculpture and enthusiasts of 20th-century Italian bronzes.
