Patinated bronze sculpture, "Pieta," signed at base C. Umlauf (Charles Umlauf, American, active in Austin, Texas, 1911-1994), "Fonderia Artistica/ Battaglia/ Milano" foundry stamp on base, rising on integral black stone plinth, bronze only: approx 22.5"h, 11.75"w, 14.25"d, overall: approx 24"h, 15.25"w, 9.75"d, 63lbs

05.12.25: In my opinion regarding LOT: 4193- the sculpture is overall intact and free of any noted loss or restorations to the metal, the patina exhibits what I believe to be some areas of natural tonal variation to the Verdigris patina, possibly inherent to the creation process, the stone base has some typical minute small chips along edges and at corners, no major loss or areas of concern observed
