About the Item
Exceptional gilded bronze and bicolor concentric Agate sculpture called Sarpedon by Georges Braque (1882-1963), inventor of cubism.
It is Signed 'Heger de Loewenfeld à Georges Braque' and was manufactured by Heger de Loewenfeld, jeweler of Bijoux de Braque, after a drawing and under the direction of Georges Braque.
The Sculpture, in Gilded Bronze, bears an extraordinary Bicolor Agate, with blue tones on the front and rare brown tones on the back organized in concentric lines that draw an Eye till the iris.
It is a rare unique piece created during the process of creation of the exhibition "Bijoux de Braque" held at MAD museum, Paris, in 1963.
This Sculpture comes from the personal collection of Heger de Loewenfeld and is part of the early pieces of Bijoux de Braque, manufactured during the 1960's.
