The unconventional stance creates an immediately engaging silhouette while conveying the inquisitive energy, intelligence and playful temperament associated with the breed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose examination reveals the artist's vigorous modelling of the bronze surface. Textured passages throughout the body contrast with smoother raised areas, giving the sculpture considerable visual and tactile character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patination is especially attractive. Moore Allen \u0026amp; Innocent described the work at auction as a “chocolate patinated bronze”, an appropriate description of its predominant warm dark-brown surface. This is complemented by deeper near-black passages, selectively exposed warmer bronze highlights and subtle tonal variation within the modelled recesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf particular collector interest, this bronze is \u003cstrong\u003enumbered 1\/50\u003c\/strong\u003e, identifying it as the \u003cstrong\u003efirst numbered cast within the stated edition of fifty\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This affinity with the natural world would ultimately become the defining subject of her sculptural career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter initially considering a career connected with farming and subsequently spending time pursuing business life in London, Kinsella recognised that her natural direction lay in art. She undertook formal artistic training and studied sculpture at Loughborough University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing her studies, Kinsella established her own sculptural practice and increasingly specialised in animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer work is characterised by an ability to communicate the individual temperament of a subject through movement, pose and gesture. Rather than concentrating solely upon anatomical accuracy, Kinsella seeks to capture the essential character and personality of the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer creative process involves close observation and preparatory drawing before the development of sculptural models. Smaller sculptures may be developed in wax over an armature, allowing the artist to explore movement and composition before settling upon a final design. Larger works can be modelled in clay over a constructed framework before moulding and casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze has become an important medium within her practice, and carefully considered patination contributes substantially to the finished character of her sculpture. These surface treatments provide depth and tonal variation while emphasising the expressive modelling beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKinsella's work encompasses intimate table-top bronzes as well as larger sculptural compositions, with her animal subjects appealing to collectors both in Britain and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoore Allen \u0026amp; Innocent, Cirencester, \u003cem\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Antique Sale\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e20 June 2024, Lot 200\u003c\/strong\u003e, where catalogued as Lucy Kinsella (b. 1960), \u003cem\u003eJack Russell terrier on hind quarters\u003c\/em\u003e, a chocolate patinated bronze, signed within the casting and numbered 1\/50, 12 cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcquired following the above sale and subsequently curated into the collection of \u003cstrong\u003eCheshire Antiques Consultant LTD®\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surviving auction documentation provides an identifiable documentary provenance for the sculpture and independently records its artist, subject, medium, signature, edition number and height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 12 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 7.9 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth: 5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in fine used condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture displays minor general wear and occasional surface scuffs consistent with its age, previous ownership and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bronze retains an attractive and naturally varied patination, with chocolate-brown, deep brown and near-black passages complemented by warmer bronze highlights and subtle tonal variation across the modelled surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese variations contribute to the individual character of the bronze and form part of its naturally aged and patinated appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs should be examined in conjunction with this report as they form an integral part of the condition assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional worldwide shipping is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture will be carefully packed using appropriate protective materials to ensure safe transit.
