A large vintage artist made studio plaster cast sculpture study of a female torso, inspired by classical antiquity. Posed in a classical contrapposto. In white quite crudely cast plaster (please see condition description) with a yellow ochre wash. Indistinctly signed/inscribed to plinth base. Please see photos and condition description.
Size: 34.5cms tall, 13cms deep at base. Heavy, weighs around 3.6kg.
Condition: Please note this has visible (but rather charming) hand casting errors, cast using a two-piece mould with a distinct, offset/misaligned parting line which has been left untrimmed. The underside (last photo) shows this was made using an open pour and this has been left raw and uneven with plaster slubbing. There are lots of chips of varying sizes, some largish on plinth base and parting edges; lots of air bubbles and casting imperfections; general scratches and scuffs; some marks; colour variation; tool marks, texture. Please note the plaster is rather friable in places (in particular the plinth base). It will be wrapped very carefully but the base can easily shed a little plaster dust.
