GIACOMO MANZÙ | Cardinale Seduto

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are less magenta undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's casting process. Close inspection reveals some tiny spots of burnishing in places to the protruding elements and some minute media accretions in isolated places throughout. Further close inspection reveals some tiny spots of oxidation in isolated places and a superficial layer of dust that has adhered to the crevices of the work.
