Explore selected works

The sculpture is a roundel featuring a detailed scene with several figures. The central figure appears to be ascending or in a state of levitation, surrounded by smaller figures or angels that are carved in relief. The scene unfolds within a classical architectural setting with arches and columns framing the background. In the foreground, a table set with plates, a candle, and a chalice is observed, around which figures are seated. One person sits on the left side, another raises their arms, and a third leans back slightly. The sculpture is crafted in bronze, giving it a warm, golden-brown hue. The relief style makes the figures stand out from the background, providing a sense of depth and dimensionality.
