Another Try

[Frank P]

hi Sam
here s another try to post the pic of the antique plate I found .. An engravers model sculpted by Mayer..

 

[Sam]

Thanks, Frank!! This is nothing less than spectacularly sculpted work and a great piece for study.

Wow Frank, that is a work of art.

Now that is impressive and beautiful. It was probably done as a casting, don't you think? Of course, it still had to be sculpted in wax I think, but I could be wrong. It is a good study never the less and masterfully done. You get to see it first hand, and touch it, and are you going to put it on the wall or something? Drool has acid in it you know........................Ron S

hi Ron
