Reference:
The Art of Philip LaVerne, Sculpture II, Bronze and Pewter Tables, published in the 1970’s, on page 21 is a photograph of this model with the title “Romanesque”. At the back of the catalog is the description: “THE ROMANESQUE - Light sculptured bronze figures, set into pewter, recapture the flowing lines of Michaelangelo’s drawings. This classical design is encompassed by an almost abstract carved bronze border. Open sculptures of pewter glide up to form the legs.”
