The surface is defined by a richly developed patina, with natural variations in tone and texture that emphasize the raw and tactile character of the material.

the form is reduced and expressive, with softly rounded contours and an abstracted anatomy. The absence of the head and arms directs the focus entirely to the torso, highlighting balance, posture, and volume rather than identity. The asymmetrical seated position introduces a quiet sense of movement and tension within the composition.

the coarse concrete contrasts with the fluidity of the form, creating a subtle dialogue between weight and softness. Areas of wear and surface erosion contribute to the sculptural depth, reinforcing its timeworn and tactile presence.

a compelling example of late 20th-century figurative abstraction, where material honesty and restrained form come together in a quietly powerful composition.

condition
very good condition, with a beautifully developed patina and minor surface wear consistent with age.
