Bronze Otter Sculpture

This charming bronze otter sculpture captures the playful and social nature of these much-loved river animals. Sculpted by British artist Peter Close, the piece depicts two otters nestled together on a rugged rock formation, creating a lively and natural composition inspired by wildlife in its natural habitat.

The sculpture reflects the curious and energetic character of otters, animals well known for their intelligence and playful behaviour along rivers and coastlines. The carefully modelled forms and expressive faces bring the otters to life, creating a sculpture that feels both dynamic and full of personality.

The textured rock base is designed to resemble natural stone, providing a strong foundation for the composition while enhancing the realism of the scene. The contrast between the rough rock surface and the smooth flowing forms of the otters creates visual interest and balance.

The sculpture is produced using the cold cast bronze technique, combining real bronze powder with resin to give the appearance and weight of traditional bronze while allowing fine detail in the modelling of the fur and facial features.

At 26cm in length, this bronze otter sculpture makes a delightful decorative piece for the home or office and is especially popular with collectors of bronze animal sculptures and wildlife art.
