"I have always been impressed by the beauty and sculptural qualities of male impala when they jump high, and have been hesitant to attempt such a venture because of how the piece may be supported without being a gimmick. Having seen a lioness make a failed attempt at catching such a jumping male impala in full flight, I have used the lioness to support the impala, which is just attached to the end of her paw." - Robert Glen

"Close Shave" was modelled direct by Sculptor Robert Glen and then cast in bronze at the famous Fonderia Artistica Mariani in Pietrasanta, Italy.
