Here, like in Schlotter’s other animal sculptures, the portrayal is important, but also the study of form. That’s why his peacock stands on a branch, in order to create an almost abstract, extended arch out of the long, drooping peacock tail. All the same, Schlotter’s abstraction never goes too far: one immediately recognizes the animal’s majestic pride.
