Maxwell Otter Maquette (3 of 7) by Laurence Broderick

Dimensions: L:15 x H:13 x W:9 Inch

Laurence Broderick’s Sandaig Otter Maquette I is an impressionistic piece that seeks to capture the essence of this playful and inquisitive animal in a bold, flowing sweep of form and figure. The sleek, streamlined otter has been distilled to little more than a circle of movement, and yet somehow, thanks to the skill of the artist, the distinctive character of the subject still manages to make itself manifest.
