In our opinion a work from the artist’s model, originating in his circle and cast during his lifetime or shortly thereafter, in the manner of Chiparus, bronze and ivory sculpture, Book Lady. Base bearing the signature, carved ivory beautiful painted patina bronze, sits on a marble/onyx base. Some variations of marble and patina might occur. The first sculptures of Chiparus were created in the realistic style and were exhibited at the Salon of 1914. He employed the combination of bronze and ivory, called chryselephantine, to great effect. Most of his renowned works were made between 1914 and 1933. The first series of sculptures manufactured by Chiparus were the series of the children. (color or base may change)
