Original artwork description:

ROMEO is a lanky cat sculpture made from natural calabash wood, symbolizing eternal love thwarted ... He is part of the CalbinoOz series.

ROMEO is shy, with oversized ears like those of most slender CalbinoOz cats, like the ears of sphynx cats...
He's wearing a long, bright peacock-blue jumper with a hood lined in light turquoise, a sort of mustard-green coppery undershirt with old gold buttons, and behind his back he's holding a pretty yellow-green copper poppy flower that he'd like to give to his sweetheart, Juliette...

This slender sculpture is mounted on a homemade wooden base because a calabash that has been emptied of its seeds, especially when it is slender, becomes a hollow and light piece of wood that could wobble without support.

Note: Romeo has a sweetheart from the same series, Juliet...

Materials: empty natural calabash wood, surfine wood cellulose, vitrified plaster, acrylic paint and water-soluble oil, protective varnish.

Signed one-off piece.
