For easier comparison:

 

still not sure if it's real. the same for sure, but their are so many fakes - knowingly or unknowingly - sold by auction houses.
do you happen to know if this Strawser Auction Group is any good ?

 

Browen Thanks
This is and interesting bronze Thanks for everyone's input. I like the one that sold for 450.00 A base could always be attached if desired, I like the period Art Nouveau it's so chic

There is a big difference between the one that sold for 450.00 and this one . The one for 450.00 seem lifeless with the color of the nudes the same as the rest, while my Alliot shown contrasting colors of black and bronze.

 

Hard to tell from the images provided but the $450 one seems to be a vastly superior casting.

 

oh in what way Mark.

 

I'm not Mark (and it's too bad there's not a higher resolution image of the other one), but perhaps this will help:

 

The $450 version has far crisper detail whereas the other one sort of has that "copy of a copy" look to it. In addition note the even patina on the $450 version compared to that of the modern repro which, while attempting to give the work a sort of "lovingly handled for generations" look ends up looking brand new.
