AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This modern solid brass lost-wax casting decorative replica is modeled after Alberto Giacometti's classic masterpiece, "Walking Man." It is cast entirely in brass with a hand-aged, antique black bronze finish, faithfully reproducing the original's slender, frail figure, seemingly moving through nothingness. Although outwardly frail, the work maintains a walking posture, implying a resilient strength in the face of adversity. It reflects both the universal human condition and the artist's personal perseverance in the face of death.

The solid brass sculpture is free from cracks, deformation, chips, and missing parts; the antique black bronze patina is intact, with no large areas revealing the underlying brass; the relief texture of the limbs, head, and base is clear and unworn; the base is cast in one piece without breakage or deformation.
