Alto Studio Bust
Again I don't have any information on this piece. The sculpture itself seems to be in perfect shape with some nicks and scratches on the base.
8" X 3.5"
Inherited

Dear Terrance,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a reproduction made from a cast mass of an artwork by Auguste Rodin with 8" x 3.5" measurements.
Alva Studios produced high-quality reproductions in limited editions of famous sculptures. This piece was made in the second half of the 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
Dear Terry,
thank you very much. Sadly not all signatures and other writings are focused. Can you send me all signatures, stamps, and writings again in focused images? Thank you very much.
With kind regards,
Gregory
Hi Gregory,
I'm trying my best to have clarity on the signatures. The piece is so dimensional it's difficult. Let me know if these additional pics help.
Best,
Terry
Hi Gregory,
I'm assuming at this point there is not enough to make an appraisal. I've provided all the markings and honestly if you had the item in hand I'm pretty sure you would have the same problem with clarity. Funny, I was watching a Biden interview and in the background there was a sculpture that looked very close to mine. I tried to find the clip to no avail.
Have a good day,
Terry
Thanks Gregory,
Hopefully these images help.
Best,
Terry
