This plaster artwork of a male and female figure, sculpted in solid brass with a rich verdigris patina, is a striking example of mid-to-late 20th-century figurative metalwork. Likely crafted in a studio setting, the piece merges classical form with a brutalist material sensibility, emphasizing volume, posture, and sensual contrast between the figures. The verdigris finish — a natural patina that develops on brass over time — lends the work a sense of age and archaeological depth, enhancing its tactile and visual richness.
