About the Item
This most unusual almost life sized heavily cast bronze bust depicts a very smart most likely South American gentleman dressed in a double breasted suit jacket with a shirt and tie. He is a relatively young man with strong handsome features and a neatly cut full head of hair.
The bronze sculpture is not signed or titled and having spent time trying to research the subject we are not close to identifying him. Please let us know if you can identify the subject.
The bronze appears to have been on public display as it has a very pleasing surface but shows exposure and handling with a mid brown colour.
This very decorative and rare bronze bust offers a fine addition giving a good interior look for a home or commercial environment.
