Description
The Pataky style excells in animal portrayals that combine a modeled head with a flat vessel chamber that doubles as the animal’s body. It may be important that many of these animals strike human poses; creatures that combine the human and animal often have mythic import.- Cleveland Museum of Art, “Major Neoclassical Marble, Rare Korean Sculpture, Other Recent CMA Acquisitions Now on View,” April 16, 1997, Cleveland Museum of Art Archives. archive.org
