Maybe a self portait?

A most unusual statue compared to all the others. It must belong to a different phase in his life.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Very interesting. What is the medium he used? Clay?

[Dione Giorgio]

A portrait for sure. But what is it made of?

[Wylie]

Very rugged

[Susan Wakely]

An interesting statue.

[Lou Ann]

Rugged for sure. Did the sculptures have identifying plaques?

[Jerzy]

I'm not sure I want him doing a clay portrait of me :-) Great capture of it and interesting work.

[Helge E. Storheim]

He seems to be in his right element at least :-) Nice shot

[Babs]

He doesn't look well does he and his head is too big for his body

[Islandgirl]

Wow rough work!

[Corinne C]

Amazing sculpture and the determined look and stance of it

[Mags]

Very cool!

[katy]

He doesn’t look very happy whoever his model was! It’s an interesting statue though

[Peter Dulis]

The falling apart stage :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

It sure is unusual.

[bkb in the city]

Very interesting

[Zilli]

Interesting

[Michelle]

Cool statue

[Tia]

Reminds me of an Anthony Gormley. Interesting statue

[Judith Johnson]

Very life like and yes to Tia, it reminds me of Anthony Gormley's sculptures too

[Linda Godwin]

Standing the test of time for certain

[Lesley Aldridge]

Great sculpture, as you say, quite different to his other works of art which all look interesting..

[KoalaGardens🐨]

that is unusual!

[Peter]

Amazing sculpture beautifully captured Diana:)

[Renee Salamon]

It also reminds me of a Gormley although in a different material

[Heather]

Fascinating! His stance is so robust but his body seems to be decaying (?). I do like the textures, though. And you captured this statue well in the light and shadow. Nicely done, Diana! Fav

[Chris Cook]

Complete with codpiece. The statue does seem a little the worse for wear.

[Shutterbug]

Interesting textures and color. It looks weathered.

[Paula Fontanini]

Ditto what Peter Dulis...too funny!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It does look very different from the other ones- but Picasso had different styles/phases too so I think you're on to something there. good shot.

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

👌👌

[LManning (Laura)]

It looks rather melancholy.

[Rick]

Very interesting sculpture. Nice capture.

[Cordiander]

A very special sculpture :)

[winghong_ho]

Well spot and capture.

[Brian]

Well spotted and captured.
