Each figure features the artist's distinctive elongated proportions, almond-shaped eyes, refined nose, and simplified facial planes.

The pair is displayed on substantial rustic wood slab platforms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFounded in 1948 by Alfred Wolkenberg, Alva Studios of Long Island, New York became one of America's best-known producers of museum reproduction sculpture, creating licensed and educational reproductions of notable works from major collections around the world through the late twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows moderate wear throughout including scattered chips, abrasions, paint loss, and surface imperfections.
