About the Item

DA tall, slim terra cotta sculpture featuring two figures in an embrace. Wonderful rust finish over entire surface; illegibly signed to base. Large-scale piece that creates a dramatic centerpiece. Hefty, thick, hand-sculpted terra cotta construction and extremely stable stance. Lovely details like the female figure’s draped hair and the nuance and emotion of the embrace. The history of two figures dates to ancient Egypt, with expression of familial bonds to symbolic representations of concepts like friendship and love in Modern art, and the exploration of the complex duality of the human psyche. The interaction, style, and symbolism of the figures convey the statue's specific meaning, such as depicting unity, tension, or a particular relationship. We love the ambiguity of this piece and the nuanced expressions of the figures.
