The Antiquities Hideout offers you this masterful celebration of human strength and craftsmanship. Titled "Work," this striking piece stands 60 cm tall and depicts a standing blacksmith, solidly planted on his legs, with a hammer resting on his anvil, his gaze focused, caught in a gesture suspended between tension and serenity. The figure evokes both effort and dignity, movement and memory, as if the artist has captured the very breath of everyday heroism in bronze. The deep brown patina accentuates the tense musculature, the folds of the worker's clothing, the texture of the anvil, and each detail reveals the artist's technical mastery and humanistic vision.
