Michael Stelzer

(1938-present)

Nude Woman- Kneeling Figurine in

Mixed Media Composite - or some kind of bronze-alloy overlay - i have been unable to find info on the internet as to what techniques the franklin mint used on their \"bronze\" statues in 1980 - still looking - when i find an authoritative source, i will update this listing.

She is holding a bouquet of flowers at her neck with her right hand, and has her left arm behind her back, with a handful of flowers

wonderfully detailed scupture

what a gorgeous woman he depicted in the artwork - perfectly balanced - so realistic, with the fold in her tummy as she bends forward - her hair on her back falling towards the ground as her right should is dipped below her left one - her feet arched as she sits back into them both - all the toes detailed - her left shoulder blade detailed as her hair is on the right side - her small breasts match her girlish figure - the flowers on the mound (base) in front of her

this piece is \"signed\" in the casting - the signature is embossed on the left sideof the base, along with \"FM 80\"
