Description

  • Claude Lalanne

  • 70 x 68 cm ; 5 1/8 x 26 3/4 in.
circa 1970 galvanised copper Monogrammed C.L. and stamped LALANNE on the back

Condition

Fair overall condition. The copper presents with instances of oxidation and vert-de-gris, more significant on the belt and the wings, as visible on the catalogue illustration. There are cracks, tears and tiny holes, inherent to the making. The cabbage leaves are very fragile and some of them are not perfectly fixed anymore.
