Description
As this sculpture is handmade the bronze colour may vary.
The beautiful bronze Lying King Charles Cavalier Spaniel sculpture is a casting of an original sculpture. It is hand cast by a British foundry or resin caster and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This is an original foundry or resin casting of the sculptor’s work that she has personally approved.
This casting is a perfect recreation of the original sculpture and bears the artist’s signature and its own unique edition number.
Edition
The inspiration behind the sculpture
This King Charles Spaniel sculpture was modelled on Norah, an older, sweet and gentle spaniel. Norah was commissioned in 2016 along with her companion Martha, also a King Charles.
Nora was a delight. She enjoyed lying down and tipping on her side for a stroke and got lots of attention from her loving owners. Her pose is softer and ‘at home’.
How it was made
After taking Nora’s measurements I took lots of photographs of her in a variety of poses, watching her expressions and mannerisms, and hearing about the way she behaved at home with her family. After that, with her owners, I decided which pose would suit Dotti best, then proceeded to model her in clay.
Once I’d sculpted Dotti a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
