AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The sea lion is one of the artist's earliest bronzes. Created in 1977, it was produced in 10 numbered and signed copies. Often imitated, it has never been equaled. Its very fluid form combines lightness with movement and foreshadows Métranve's future sculptures, who, since his beginnings, has always prioritized the purity of the line. The patina is very nuanced and original. The Alfart -LBK gallery guarantees the authenticity of the sculpture, which will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed both by the gallery and the sculptor. The sculpture will be shipped in a reinforced and insured package with UPS."
