An interesting work from the art deco period, this decorative sculpture depicts the Age of Bronze and man's domination over metal. The work is executed in spelter which has been cold-painted and patinated to resemble the verdigris effect on aged bronze, the figure situated over a polished black slate base. Beautifully sculpted, the figure has a hammered and textured skin that provides a striking effect. It is signed on the slate G. Hervor and retains an old label from a gallery in France.
