STANDING VIZSLA SCULPTURE
“The Vizsla sculpture was modelled on Lola. Lola was a young Hungarian Vizsla, she was a really beautiful dog with a lovely nature. She was quite shy and quiet, until you got her game toy out, which she was trained to retrieve and she was very excited by her fluffy duck. I got some wonderful photos of her having it thrown around during her sitting with me.”
This sculpture bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. It will be carefully gift wrapped and is accompanied by a certificate.
10% of the proceeds from this bronze dog sculpture support ‘The Dogs Trust’ animal charity.

Which Material to Choose
Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.
Foundry Bronze  – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.
Sculpture Description, Bases & Fixings
This elegant bronze vizsla statue is sculpted by artist Tanya Russell, who is the UK’s pre-eminent dog sculptor. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the vizsla statue will go to the ‘Dogs Trust’, a charity that provides sanctuary and rehoming services for dogs in the UK and also lobbies for welfare policy changes all over the world.
The Standing Vizsla is an open edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original bronze Standing Vizsla sculpture from a mould.

How The Sculpture Was Made
When I model animals I try where possible to find examples from life. I also use many photos – often hundreds – showing the animal (and other animals of the breed or species). This helps me sculpt their anatomical features. I study the way that hair, fur or skin lies over their muscles or alters their shape, and their different poses and attitudes.
The Standing Vizsla sculpture was modelled in wax, over a steel and aluminium armature for support. After the Standing Vizsla statue was finished 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.
