Pouncing Tabby Cat Sculpture

I began this sculpture during the first lockdown. He is based on a cat in a medieval painting - a very enjoyable and interesting subject to sculpt. I also have a cat at home who posed for me a little but she is a lot more timid than this chap! His character developed from the clay quite early on! 

He is life-sized and comes on his own plinth.
