Description from the seller
The whale is an imposing mammal that has fascinated all of us since we were children. A creature present in many tales that has often accompanied our dreams.
This sculpture more precisely depicts a hand-made bronze sperm whale, where the spray of water that would come from the blowhole has been reimagined in a fairy-tale spirit, replacing the water with a beautiful black gorgonian with reddish tips (also a marine element).
The gilded sculpture rests on a base of antique marble, which clearly emphasizes its representational character and marks it as a noble decoration of particular style.
Dimensions: 510×290×100 mm
Weight: 1.6 kg
Year: about 1900
Provenance: Germany
