AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered, without reserve price, an elegant set of two original ceramic sculptures by the Spanish artist Cristina Puell.

These expressive sculptures depict a stylized man and woman embracing a child.

These figures are rarely offered together as a matching set.

The minimalist, organic forms and the matte black finish give the figures a timeless, modern appearance. Both sculptures are mounted on a transparent acrylic pedestal with the artist's original name plate.
Thanks to their restrained design, these sculptures fit wonderfully in both a modern and a classic interior and form a particularly decorative work of art.

Condition
Both sculptures are in very nice condition with only light signs of use, appropriate to their age. The photos are part of the description.

Materials: Puell worked with a range of materials, including patinated bronze, terracotta (often with a dark gray or mouse-gray finish) and ceramic, usually mounted on a marble or acrylic pedestal.
