Great Dane Bronze, 70 x 148.5 x 56 cm, by Georges Gardet, c. 1904 Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam |
||||||||||
| A Great Dane reclines with its front legs extended and head held upright in alert composure. The sculpted anatomy emphasises muscular contours, the texture of short fur, and an attentive gaze, all of which convey strength and poise. A collar encircling the neck enhances the lifelike quality while suggesting domesticated loyalty. |
