Stalking Panther c. 1891 - 1913

"Stalking Panther", a bronze sculpture by American sculptor Alexander Phimister Proctor, captures the animal’s powerful, yet fluid movement. The piece, created between 1891 and 1913, showcases Proctor’s talent for depicting wildlife with incredible detail. The panther’s muscular form and alert expression are rendered with realism, emphasizing the animal’s primal strength. The sculpture’s elongated pose and sinuous curves convey the panther’s stealthy nature, making it a compelling example of animalistic realism. Proctor’s work, often praised for its dynamic energy and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to his mastery of the bronze medium.
