Description from the seller

Bronze sculpture – Pair – Enzo Assenza – 20th century.
Description:

Elegant bronze sculpture, signed by Enzo Assenza, depicting a pair of stylized nude figures captured in an intimate and harmonious pose. The work expresses a strong sense of emotional connection through soft, simplified forms, typical of the artist's sculptural language.

The composition is characterized by a dynamic balance between the intertwined bodies, with faces barely suggested and worked surfaces that preserve a pleasant materiality. The dark patina of the bronze enhances the volumes and gives depth to the whole.

The work represents Assenza's exploration of the human figure and affective relationships, placing it within his postwar production (approximately the 1950s–70s).
