Wooden sculpture of a dog lying with head raised

This wooden sculpture, handcrafted from umbarana wood, depicts a dog lying down with its head raised, capturing a sense of calm and quiet alertness. The elongated form and delicate carving highlight the dog’s gaunt yet graceful figure, which is a recurring theme in Marcos Costa's work inspired by the harsh realities of life in Pernambuco’s drylands.
