Michel Karis

Large-sized sculpture, with original black marble base, France, early 20th century.

The sculpture depicts two albatross in flight.

Bronzed metal - In good condition.

The albatross, as a symbol of power, is undoubtedly an important totem animal in European culture, especially among maritime peoples: from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, the figure of albatross is considered a good omen.

The albatross is a powerful animal, the largest and majestic seabird. It is able to circumvent the planet by flying several times in its life, which implies a way of seeing things very wide. It is therefore considered as a bird able to grow and see things in a proper perspective, without being disturbed by almost nothing, or fearing nothing, possibly one of the animals with more creative freedom.

Dimensions: base 61 x 29 cm, height 59 cm.

The sculpture is marked with the inscription ‘France’..

Pictures are an integral part of the item’s description. Express courier shipping. 

Have a good auction.

Circa 1900 - France
