AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large bronze sculpture of an elephant - modern design.
To the French artist Ferdinand Parpan - 1902 - 2004.
This image is based on a design by Parpan from 1935.

Ferdinand Parpan always keeps in mind that he is forever 'on the way to the horizon, but has not yet reached the goal.' Constantly dissatisfied, he tirelessly continues his research and creates a very specific style—a flexible line, a creation 'that we can touch, stroke, turn over, so that it is something different from a sculpture.'

Sculpture with a beautiful patina.

Length 31 cm
Height 32 cm
Width 7 cm.
Weight: 5.3 kg.

The artwork is safely packed and insured for shipping with track & trace.
