The contrast between the two treatments gives the piece a quietly dramatic quality, as though two different states of being were caught mid transformation within the same face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitled Omega Window, the piece is mounted on a wood backing that lifts it slightly from the wall, giving the relief genuine depth and shadow play depending on the light. The carved features, eyes, nose, and mouth, are rendered with real sensitivity despite the piece's compact scale, avoiding the more literal or decorative treatment that lesser relief sculpture often falls into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating to circa 1995, the work is signed and numbered \"Berthet 7\/8\" along the lower edge, with the title inscribed on the verso, confirming it as number seven from a limited edition of eight. Measuring 4.75 x 4.625\", the artwork itself is compact enough to display in almost any setting, and should you wish to keep it framed, it will carry genuine presence as a piece of fine art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful and well documented piece of contemporary bronze sculpture, ideal for collectors of limited edition work or anyone drawn to figurative art with a modern sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rene Berthet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50206275829898,"sku":null,"price":2640.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Rene_Berthet_Omega_Window_Patinated_Bronze_Relief_-_c.1995_2.jpg?v=1790714812","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/rene-berthet-omega-window-patinated-bronze-relief-c-1995","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
