StoneDescription
The Hunter is an exceptionally detailed sculpture depicting a hunter surrounded by the animals that define his world. His clothing, equipment and expressive features are intricately carved, while the numerous animals gathered around his feet transform the work into an almost narrative scene. The fine level of detail suggests a relatively soft stone, possibly soapstone, which allows the artist to carve delicate textures and complex forms. Rather than presenting the hunter simply as a powerful figure, the sculpture places him within nature, surrounded by the creatures upon which his identity and survival depend. The unknown artist has created a work rich in movement, observation and storytelling, capturing both the hunter and the environment to which he belongs.Try it!
