Wyland Limited Edition Dolphin Bronze Sculpture
This is a detailed marine wildlife sculpture featuring two dolphins leaping in a dynamic, vertical composition, created by the renowned environmental artist Robert Wyland. The piece is constructed from cast bronze, a signature medium for Wyland, and is mounted on a circular black marble or granite base. The dolphins are finished with a sophisticated multi-tonal patina that mimics the play of light on water, featuring mottled greys and creams with a high-gloss polished surface. The base of the sculpture mimics a cresting wave or coral formation, utilizing a distinct turquoise and deep blue verdigris patina to create textural contrast against the smooth bodies of the cetaceans. The artistic style is characteristic of late 20th-century to early 21st-century marine art, emphasizing fluid motion and anatomical realism. The craftsmanship is high, evident in the seamless balance of the top dolphin which appears to float. While the signature is not explicitly visible in this view, Wyland pieces are typically signed and numbered near the base. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the stone base or oxidation beyond the intended artistic patina.
