Pair of sculptures depicting greyhounds, probably of the whippet breed, life-size and of excellent workmanship, made of bronze using the lost wax casting technique and dating back to the early 20th century, inspired by the design and subjects typically favoured in the Art Deco period thanks to this style's penchant for animal motifs.

Sculptures such as these are often used as highly decorative elements for interiors, gardens or terraces.

In this case, the artist has skilfully captured the elegance of the two creatures, a male and a female, which are particularly fascinating for their realistic attention to detail and endowed with a remarkable sense of plasticity through the use of an extraordinarily modern design line.

The works, of French manufacture, are inspired by the famous creations of the sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti (Milan 1884 - Paris 1916), a Milanese who moved to Paris and Antwerp, or Pierre-Jules Mênes, both famous sculptors specialising in animal bronzes.
