Description
As this sculpture is handmade the bronze colour may vary.
The beautiful bronze Sitting 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
Siegfriedje the King Charles Cavalier is owned by Belgian family, who commissioned their beautiful boy after seeing the sculptures of Norah and Martha on my website. He is a smiley, happy dog, and together with his owner I chose a classic sitting pose to take advantage of his excellent sculptural qualities.
His owner was keen to see the progress of the clay at each stage, and I found the most challenging part the work on Siegfriedje’s face, which needed attentiveness, but also a softness in the halo of fur around his head.
How it was made
I sculpted Siegfriedje’s using a large number of photographs sent from his owner in Belgium. They kindly showed me what they loved about their handsome boy, and took some measurements for me. After that, with his owners, I decided which pose would suit Siegfriedje best, then proceeded to model him in clay.
Once I’d sculpted Siegfriedje 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.
