Blackbird with Blossom - Hand Painted Bronze (1046)

The intense black of the Blackbird contrasts beautifully with the pinks of the Blossom, and is sitting at the very highest point of the branch where it can sing it’s heart out. The beak and eyes are delicately hand painted in the natural yellow tone of the bird, and the whole sculpture is boxed in a fine wood case. Height: 15cm x Width: 9cm x Depth: 6cm Weight: 315g Limited Edition: 150 Sculptor: Keith Sherwin The Blackbird is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting.
