A striking large-scale bronze sculpture of a seated couple, signed Pompon to the base and mounted on a polished marble plinth. The stylised, voluminous forms recall the celebrated work of Fernando Botero (1932–2023), renowned for his rounded and monumental figures.
This piece is a hollow-cast bronze with a rich dark patina, standing an impressive 50 cm tall and weighing approximately 5.5 kg. No foundry stamps or edition numbers are present. Offered as a 20th-century decorative bronze in the manner of Botero, signed Pompon, rather than as an authenticated work by either artist.
