Nude bronze
« on: December 15, 2008, 05:49:22 am »
I collect bronze animal figurines but couldn't resist this one. It stands 17" high but is unsigned. Can anyone help me with age and possible artists?

My first question would be if it were bronze or a resin composite?  Many famous and not so famous statues have been copied and have no foundry or artist signature/mark.  I'm sure many of your animal bronzes are signed and maybe some have a foundry mark.  The nude appears to me to be from a modern rendering but that's only a guess.  Bronzes, unless from a famous artist and are original, are in a state of funk as far as worth is concerned.

Hi Railman

Thanks for the prompt reply. She is real bronze - lost wax - not cold cast. The excellent quality and the fact that she is georgeous is what got me. Shame she is anonymous
