Gaston Lachaise Bronze Torso of two Legs, signed

In this rather unusual piece of art, we can see two legs in a bent position. These 100% bronze legs are set on a marble base and signed by the Franco-American sculptor Gaston Lachaise. Due to the simplicity of the motif and the few details, the spectator can concentrate on the proportions of these two legs – and fantasize about what lies beyond the edges of this nude art sculpture. This has a very special effect to the atmosphere this sculpture creates: even though not much is revealed, eroticism lies in the air. Lachaise manages to catch peoples’ attention without much effort.

As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
