Carved Quartz Lioness
Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof
Late 20th Century

Standing upright with a poised yet curious expression, this carved quartz lioness captures Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof’s gift for transforming gemstone into works of vivid personality. The sculpture uses the stone’s natural warm browns, smoky grays and milky translucence to suggest the subtle coloring of the animal’s coat, while finely carved texturing gives the body a lifelike sense of movement and form.

Both elegant and playful, the lioness rests on a polished black marble base. From the expressive face to the carefully modeled paws and tail, the work reveals Zadora’s technical precision and imaginative approach to hardstone carving.

The Canadian-born artist Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof has earned international acclaim for his gemstone sculptures and jewelry. His works are celebrated for their technical mastery, inventive compositions and refined use of rare materials, securing his reputation as one of the most important decorative artists of the late 20th century.
