"Bronze Sculpture – Asian Opium Smoker"
Elegant and rare bronze sculpture depicting a young Asian man, probably from Vietnam or China, in a traditional seated posture, smoking opium. The relaxed attitude and facial expression evoke a moment of tranquility. The original pipe is missing, but the whole remains very expressive and complete. Very fine work, with beautiful details in the clothing, hair and facial features. The brown patina is deep and even. Height: 20 cm Condition: Very good overall condition, with a small loss (pipe). An authentic and decorative collector's item, a testament to a part of traditional Asian culture.
