Hello, this item is a small editioned bronze sculpture by or attributed to Darío Morales, titled or described as Mujer en una silla. The work depicts a reclining female nude seated in a cane-back chair, with a dark and golden-brown patinated surface. The visible inscription appears to read “Morales 82” and the edition number “4/6,” which is consistent with Morales’s known practice of signing, dating, and numbering small bronze editions. Comparable authenticated Morales bronzes include Woman on a Rocking Chair, signed, dated 1982 and numbered 5/6, and Mujer con camisa en la mecedora, a small chair-and-figure bronze that sold for COP 30,000,000.

The sculpture appears to be in very good overall condition, with no major breakage visible in the photographs, although there is some expected surface variation, patina rubbing, and darkening in recessed areas. The intimate female figure, furniture setting, and small edition format all fit Morales’s sculptural vocabulary, but authentication should rely on physical inspection of the signature, casting quality, provenance, and any foundry or gallery documentation. Because it is a small bronze without stated provenance, its value is below the larger documented Morales bronzes, but it remains a desirable Latin American modern sculpture if confirmed authentic.
