Abstract Bronze Figurative Sculpture

This is a mid-to-late 20th-century abstract bronze sculpture, likely influenced by the Expressionist or Modernist movements. The piece features three vertical, anthropomorphic or organic forms emerging from a monolithic rectangular base. The forms are characterized by a highly tactile, roughly modeled surface that shows clear evidence of hand-manipulated clay or wax prior to the casting process. The texture is deeply impastoed with pits, ridges, and lumps that create a dramatic play of light and shadow across the dark, charcoal-colored patina. The finish is largely matte with slight metallic highlights on the raised edges. The central and right elements lean inward, creating a sense of tension or familial connection. The sculpture is mounted on a solid rectangular plinth that shows significant wear, including finish loss and scuffing, particularly on the front edge where the underlying material is exposed. Measuring approximately 10-12 inches in height, the work lacks visible signatures in this view, but the brutalist quality of the casting and the complex, uneven surface suggest a high level of artistic intent and individual craftsmanship typical of mid-century studio work. The condition shows age-related dust in the crevices and minor surface abrasions consistent with its age.
