Bronze Standing Cat Sculpture Murphy
Murphy” is a striking bronze standing cat sculpture created by British sculptor Peter Close. This elegant sculpture captures the natural posture and watchful curiosity of a cat standing alert, with its tail arched gracefully behind and its head held proudly. Carefully observed feline anatomy and expressive detail give this bronze cat sculpture a lifelike presence that cat lovers immediately recognise.
Murphy was a rescue cat from Cats Protection, he was a very special boy and we miss him so much.
Peter Close is widely known for his collection of cold cast bronze cat sculptures, each hand-modelled to capture the movement, character and personality of cats. This sculpture reflects that approach, combining artistic craftsmanship with a deep understanding of feline form.
The sculpture is produced using the cold cast bronze process, a technique that combines real bronze powder with resin to create a material with the appearance and weight of solid bronze. This casting method allows the delicate details of the sculpture – from the cat’s facial features to the subtle musculature of the body – to be preserved with exceptional clarity.
