Item # 303XAF30W  An exquisitely cast example of Armand Godard's Seated Woman Holding a Bird circa 1930, it is a silky smooth cast of the highest quality with hand-hammered and beautifully chiseled texture in the hair. All elements of the young woman are beautifully articulated. The base is particularly beautiful, a vibrant stone of prehistoric petrified wood that has been shaped and polished to catch and reflect light in the most magnificent way. A superior model.
Measurements: 14 1/4" H (total with base); 11 3/4" H (bronze only); 22 1/2" W (base only); 23 1/2" W total width; 4 3/4" D (base) Condition Report:
Very fine original condition. Discolorations to the original silvered patina and light wear from handling and surface tarnish that has become part of the patina. Base in excellent condition with faint spots of matteness that could be polished out upon request.
