Artist, American, 1915 - 2002

The sculpture depicts a seated dog with its mouth slightly open. Its body is detailed with muscular definition, and it appears to be sitting on its haunches with its front legs straight and its head held high. It is crafted in a material that gives it a monochrome appearance, typically resembling stone or a similar substance. The surface texture suggests wear or patina commonly seen in stone sculptures. The dog is positioned on a rectangular base for stability and context. The overall pose of the dog is alert and attentive, with its ears perked up and facing forward.
