The composition has a lyrical, almost dreamlike quality, characteristic of nylund’s organic and nature-inspired design language. The surface displays a warm, deep bronze tone with subtle verdigris highlights that enhance the relief and bring depth to the underwater scene. The patina has developed attractively over time, giving the piece a refined and authentic character. The reverse is marked “akta brons,” confirming its material quality. This piece works equally well as a decorative wall object or displayed on a stand, where the sculptural detailing and play of light across the surface can be fully appreciated. A striking example of mid-century scandinavian metalwork.
