VINTAGE JOHN BICCARD "D'ARTAGNAN" FIGURINE IN SOUTH AFRICA

A lovely vintage highly desirable hand made crushed marble sculpture of "D'Artagnan" by John Biccard from The Biccard Collection. John Biccard was a South African artist and visionary, producing hand made sculpture with the art of a whimsical touch, this piece has his initials signed to its hat. He passes away in 2006. The figurine is in good condition with the height of 9.5 cm. D' Artagnan is either a Persian or Angora cat with his long fur and is clearly an alias for Puss in Boots. He is wearing a wide brimmed plumed, cavalier hat. Dressed in frilly cravat, waistcoat and boots. If you look carefully at the back, peeking out of his long fur and sash is a sword. D'Artagnan has an eye patch as well. His whiskers are curled into a mustache.
