Sphynx Like Carved Nude with Crossed Arm blonde horsehair brush It's the man and woman

It's the man and woman

and I like to the think the window form is a nod to Duchamp

but otherwise is in very good shape with plenty of use in it yet

Fabulous texture for his fur and a pretty wonderful face I think

but I do think it is quite a special thing

Sphynx Like Carved Nude with Crossed Arm blonde horsehair brush It's the man and womanThis nude was carved of an exotic hardwood, but I have a feeling the carving itself is American. Likely it was not completed, but to me she seems just right a sort of Sphynx, legs merging into block of wall, and arm crossed in front of her as if controlling passage and she herself seems like the riddle to be solved. With no mouth to speak, but holding what feels like a lot of power. 7" t x 2 3 8" w x 2 3 8" d. Very good condition. Wood is dense and
