    IMG_1648vi.jpg Im having troubling identifying this sculpture. Its 14 inches. Looking to sell it on ebay but i dont have adequate information on the piece. On the bottom someone wrote 140,000 euros on it but i dont know if thats accurate. Anyone have a clue. No signatures or anything.

    Are you sure it was 140,000, and not 140,00 (with the comma being the decimal indicator)?

    Looks like a casting, I can see frit blobs on her draped material. The base looks more like marble than the figures.
    I’ve seen sculpture casts for tourists which are resin mixed with alabaster or marble dust.
    I’m also a bit confused about the hole near his mouth, not sure if that was a shim wall meant to be cut away after casting.

    Does look like an inexpensive, modern cast copy.
