This finely crafted Country Artists figurine titled “Look Out – Adult Meerkat” (model CA03081) captures the alert stance of a meerkat standing watch upon a textured branch. Measuring an impressive 38 cm in height, the piece is full of lifelike detail — from the fur texture to the careful shading that brings the animal’s expressive vigilance to life.
The figurine bears the artist signature “K. Sherwin” on the base — referencing Kevin Sherwin, one of Country Artists’ most respected wildlife sculptors. His works are admired for their anatomical accuracy and emotional realism, balancing artistic sensitivity with zoological precision.
Maker & History
Country Artists, founded in Warwick, England in 1978, became internationally known for its naturalistic wildlife and countryside-themed sculptures. The firm employed leading British sculptors such as David Geenty, Andy Moss, and Kevin Sherwin, whose designs were handcrafted and individually hand-painted. After being acquired by Enesco Ltd, the brand continued its legacy through limited and high-detail series such as Country Artists for the Natural World.
This 2011 piece reflects the later Enesco-era production, combining traditional artistry with modern finishing.
