Modernist Bronze Sleeping Head Sculpture, 1960s (SOLD)

A beautifully expressive modernist bronze sculpture from the 1960s, depicting a serene sleeping face. The softly modeled features, closed eyes and gently tilted head give the work a remarkably peaceful and contemplative presence.

The restrained facial details contrast beautifully with the rounded, almost abstract form of the head. Particularly attractive is the beautifully aged bronze surface, with its rich, deep patina and subtle variations in tone that have developed naturally over time. The simplicity of the composition gives the sculpture a timeless quality.

Highly decorative yet intimate in scale, this is a wonderful example of mid-century figurative sculpture and a strong sculptural object when viewed from different angles.

Condition
Very good condition with a beautiful naturally aged bronze patina and minor signs of wear consistent with age.
