This wooden sculpture represents a stylized animal figure, possibly a dog, and is a clear example of mid-century Scandinavian design. The piece is made of solid wood, which features a rich grain and a warm tone. Its construction is notable, assembled from several distinct sections.
The silhouette is fluid and minimalist, highlighting a long, curved snout that defines its character. The head and neck flow in a single elegant curve. The body is composed of segments joined by visible wooden dowels, which are an integral part of the design's aesthetic and underscore its artisanal character. The four conical legs provide a stable base, giving the figure a solid yet light stance. A small curved detail on the back serves as a tail. It is a piece that captures the essence of organic modernism, where form follows the natural beauty of the material. The wood retains a smooth finish and a natural patina developed over time.
