Extraordinary pair of antique bronze classical nude ladies, one holding a wine goblet with a bird on her wrist, the other has a butterfly on her arm. Both sculptures were made at the H. Gladenbeck & Sohn foundry in Berlin, Germany. The Gladenbeck foundry produced many of the finest quality bronze sculptures made in Europe in the 19th and very early 20th centuries. The two nudes we are offering have a beautiful patina and are in excellent condition. The faces details and bodies of these beautiful ladies are absolutely perfect. I doubt if a finer model has ever been sculptured by any artist. Their faces are so lifelike you can almost hear them breathing. They are both mounted on their original specimen marble bases. The lady with the butterfly is looking at it and wondering what happened to its other wing, it looks like it landed on her arm for safety. From any angle of view, these bronzes are absolutely beautiful. You will see a lot of pictures with this listing that enable you to fully appreciate the beauty and importance of these two high quality German bronzes. They were sculptured by Felix Gorling, a German sculptor born in 1860. Items of this quality are rarely offered for sale. They are so beautiful no one wants to sell them. They measure 9 inches and 9-1/4 inches high. The bronze ladies not including their original marble bases measure 7-1/2 inches tall. Guaranteed to please the most particular collector or connoisseur.
