"Quince" — from the *Fruits* series A contemporary still-life bronze of a quince, mounted on a round plinth. Here the artist reverses the usual play of finishes: the fruit itself gleams in brilliant mirror-polished gold, full and rounded, catching and bending the light, while the leaves above are rendered in a dark, matte patina that curls and twists like real foliage. The contrast of luminous golden body and shadowed leaves gives this small piece a rich, jewel-like presence — a humble fruit rendered precious. Cast in bronze using the lost-wax method and mounted on an integrated round bronze base. Signed by the artist and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Made to order — a hand-cast, limited piece rather than a stock object. - Title: *Quince* (from the *Fruits* series) - Year: 2014 - Medium: Bronze, lost-wax cast, mirror-polished and patinated finish - Style: Contemporary, still life - Subject: Quince (fruit) - Dimensions: H 16 × W 10 × D 9 cm (H 6.3 × W 3.9 × D 3.5 in), base included - Weight: 1.28 kg (2.8 lb) - Authenticity: Signed; Certificate of Authenticity included
