Bronze Figure “Devil with Skull” on Black Marble - golden-brown patina - H. 36 cm
Item number 138533
A mocking devil staring a skull in the face: Gothic with a wink.
Ram's horns, goat legs and an amulet round his neck, he lounges on his pillar with crossed legs. Among books, candles and dark wood, perhaps on a mantelpiece or a bookcase, his character comes through. For collectors of Gothic and vanitas subjects.

Craftsmanship
The lost-wax method yields the solid casting; everything after that is handwork. Torso, hooves and the angular face are crisply modelled, with the golden-brown patina glowing on the rounded forms. His seat is a tall block of black marble, one leg dangling over its edge.
Care
Remove dust with a soft brush or a dry cloth. Avoid cleaning agents so that the patina stays intact.
