A later figure, but one I was immediately drawn to because of its face, especially when viewed from a three-quarter angle. The eyes are set deep into the head, with heavy brows that hang over them and flow naturally into the bridge of the nose. It’s an honest example, and I’ve priced it accordingly, with its age and level of use taken into account.
