This bronze of a male mute swan that is flapping its wings after preening, is the culmination of a long-held dream to sculpt a larger than life size swan. It is approximately 25% bigger than life size.
The dark patina protects the bronze from the weathering by wind and rain for an outside placement.

Edition of six with 3 artist proofs.
The bronze presently resides in the gardens of the Four Seasons Hotel in Florence, Italy, and can be viewed there. tel: +39 055 26261 www.fourseasons.com
