Evan Lobel

main.jpg

Original bird sculpture in etched pewter and brass with incorporated ostrich egg and sea shell on a bronze base by Roberto Estevez, American 1968 (signed “Estevez 68” on bottom). This is a unique sculpture and showcases the artisanship and intricacy of Roberto Estevez’s designs.

Roberto Estevez was Karl Springer’s life partner until his death in the 1980’s.
