Anyone with a fox terrier knows of the tireless energy that characterises this breed. They have to constantly observe and attentively follow everything in their environment. The small yet powerful frame underlines this agility. With his figure of the attentive “Niki” of 1913, the artist Willy Zügel from Munich succeeded in capturing a rare, yet highly interesting moment in the wiry terrier’s daily life. “With taut frame and intelligent expression” – the critics praised – this dog sculpture enters into direct dialogue with the observer.
