Description
Sculpture designed by Xavier Nogués and made in collaboration with his friend, the sculptor Josep Granyer (1899-1983). It was one of a pair, the other one being the figure of a hunter (MNAC, inventory no. 107.745). (See file ES0001). The Granyer family still have a bronze cast taken from the original plaster model.
We would like to thank Dr Sofía Isus Ventura for her permission to use a photograph of this piece.
