Onyx Swan Sculpture on a Rotating Plinth, By Ralph Hurst

About the Item

This is a beautiful sculpture of a swan crafted from a rich cream-grey onyx. Mounted on a black rotating plinth, which allows the detail of the bird to be fully appreciated. A classic pose - so graceful and tactile. The sculptor was Ralph Hurst (1918 - 2003). Hurst worked and studied across the United States, especially Florida and in Italy. Most of his work is stone - alabaster, onyx and marble, with a few works crafted from wood. A gorgeous decorative piece - this swan would make a fantastic gift.

  • Bronze Bust Sculpture on Marble Plinth
    Located in London, GB
    This strikingly naturalistic bronze sculpture was created in Florence in 1895. The bust depicts an elderly man, most likely a farm worker, carrying a heavy sack of grain over his shoulder. He wears an old slightly ragged shirt which is open at his chest, revealing his thin body underneath. The man looks out into the distance on the left, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. His mouth is open as though he is breathing heavily with the strain of the work or calling out to someone unknown to the viewer. The sculptor has accurately rendered every detail, with great truth to reality. The faint stubble on the man's chin and the wrinkles on his face and hands are faithfully portrayed. In its naturalistic style and its everyday, unidealised subject-matter, this bronze may be described as a work of Realism. The Realist movement flourished in the arts in Europe in this period, the 19th Century. The bust is signed ‘G Rossi...
