About this artwork
Borzois or Russian wolfhounds originated in the 17th century and were bred and prized by the Russian aristocracy for their elegance and beauty. I depicted this pair exhibiting movement and elegance in a way that expresses sheer grace as the two dogs run together. Cast in bronze and mounted on a black hardwood base. Signed, dated, numbered and has the foundry stamp.

Barry Davies is a passionate British sculptor who has exhibited his work across Europe and the UK. He seeks to humbly represent the anatomy of natural history in all its forms, aiming to convey excellence through his elegant bronze sculptures. Modelled in clay and carved in plaster before being cast in bronze, his subject matter derives from studies of Palaeontology, Anthropology and human and animal anatomy.
