Extremely rare, 'DeMontfort Fine Art' limited edition, artist's proof* cold cast porcelain sculpture of a German Shepherd / Alsatian dog. This fabulous sculpture is weighty, beautifully textured and of a fabulous quality. It is brand new, boxed and comes with its certificate of authenticity. The sculpture is entitled 'Raring to go' and is by British sculptor April Shepherd

*An artist's proof is a piece taken in the production process to show the current state of the sculpture. The sculpture proof is checked and approved by the artist and, although in theory it is identical to the finished work, it is not included in the final limited edition count. Artist's proofs belong to the artist, are much more scarce and rare than a normal limited edition sculpture, therefore more valuable, and by convention, the artist would not usually sell these at once.

April Shepherd is one of Britain’s most exciting young artists, whose animal charcoals and superb sculptures have won her international acclaim. Her stunning smoke fired sculpture is highly collectable and extremely expressive, exploring movement and the natural world, and her sensitive yet unsentimental animal studies have won her considerable acclaim. She has undertaken prestigious commissions for clients including Morgan Stanley and the British Embassy in India, and her work is held in private collections worldwide. She has also exhibited widely, including at the renowned Royal Academy.
