Doorpull (pair)

Leone Leoni

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two bronze sculptures of a mythical creature with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a lion, featuring wings, by Leone Leoni titled "Doorpull (pair)". The creature has a humanoid head with short hair, a muscular torso, and a lion-like lower body with the legs ending in paws. The sculptures are depicted in a seated position with legs splayed out to the sides. The wings are positioned on the back, with the left sculpture's wings spread out and the right sculpture's wings slightly raised. The bronze material exhibits a dark patina with green undertones. The background of each photo features a gradient transitioning from black at the top to light gray at the bottom.
