Dating to the mid-20th century, the sculpture rises 19 inches high, its head modeled in profile with stylized hair and quietly expressive features. The surface carries a deep, mottled patina, enhancing the depth of the contours. Mounted on a solid stone plinth, the form reads as both portrait and study in abstraction. The cire perdue (lost-wax) process employed at the Pastori foundry highlights the works artisanal traditioneach cast unique in its detail and finish. The Pastori Foundry The Pastori foundry specialized in cire perdue casting, a centuries-old method prized for its ability to capture fine detail and sculptural nuance. Active in Italy during the mid-20th century, Pastori collaborated with artists to produce limited bronze editions that bridged traditional craft and modernist expression. Their mark is a testament to the precision and authenticity of the lost-wax process, adding provenance and value to each piece. Condition: Great vintage condition. The bronze surface carries a deep, mottled patina with minor wear consistent with age. The sculpture is signed E. GALLAY along the side of the neck and stamped with the foundry mark CIRE M. PASTORI PERDUE. Mounted on a solid stone plinth, which shows light surface marks and a small chip to one corner. Stable and structurally sound. See less
