Lot Essay

Figures of tigers or leopards are very rare. Although it is much smaller, the present example can be related to the impressive pair of leopards from the Champalimaud Collection, sold in our London Rooms, 6 July 2005, lot 130, or to the tiger sold at Sotheby's London, 12 November 1996, lot 92
