Late 20th Century

Balanced gracefully upon a single hoof in a charming pose, this anthropomorphic rhinoceros exemplifies Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof’s extraordinary ability to transform hardstone into spirited, lifelike art. Expertly carved from quartz, the sculpture takes full advantage of the material’s natural color variations to echo the rich tonalities of the powerful mammal. Subtle texturing across the body evokes the rhinoceros’ rugged hide, while the rounded contours lend the figure warmth and personality. Both whimsical and technically masterful, the work reflects Zadora’s distinctive talent for blending naturalistic observation with imaginative interpretation.
