Sold together with a copy of "Sally Arnup Animal Bronzes", The Blake Gallery, York and further literature relating to the artist.
Celebrated sculptor Sally Arnup is most renowned for her lifelike animal bronzes.
Although being a zoophilist, her particular passion for dogs and all canine breeds was clearly evident.
Her insistence on working directly from her subject and her ability to control her medium allowed Sally to explore and depict the animal’s coat and features conveying the humour in the relationship between man and beast, as seen here in "Bulldog".
