This is an exceptional pair of investment grade bronze sculptures from Edith Parsons, the pair titled "Serenaders" and one retaining the original label from their purchase at the Kennedy Galleries in New York. Both are signed by the artist along the edge and impressed at the back "Gorham Founders", one with "OGBJ" and the other with "OGBK". The undersides are filled with plaster. They remain in positively pristine condition with only the most minor patina wear. These are a very fine acquisition for serious collectors.

Condition Report:
