With arms and neck left unfinished, it carries the sense of archeological discovery, as if unearthed from an atelier or ruin. The plaster has aged to a warm, textured surface, layers of ivory, sand, and earthen tones softening its contours. Standing just over two feet tall, the torso reads as both relic and study. Condition: Good vintage condition. The plaster shows discoloration throughout and small surface chips, consistent with age and material. No significant structural losses; stable overall with a warm, time-softened finish. See less
