Description:

Raffaello Romanelli (Italian, 1856-1928)

Portrait of a Man
Signed and inscribed "Raffaello Romanelli" and "Fond. G. Vignali Firenze" within
the cast on the base.
Bronze with dark brown patina, 22 x 7 x 7 in. (55.9 x 17.8 x 17.8 cm).
Condition: Surface dust/grime, plaster filled.
Estimate $800-1,200

The surface grime is minor. There are some rubs to the patina, especially near the base. The underside of the base has plaster residue, and it is probable that the bronze contains some plaster, but from the small opening in the base it is impossible to determine the extent of this.
