Description
A signed and titled Estelle Goodman (1930-2007, American) abstract modernist style bronze sculpture of a male figure rising up from an attached base.

The base measures approximately 24 in wide by 17 in deep by 36 in high. The bronze sculpture itself measures approximately 33 in wide by 16 in deep by 12.75 in high.

ARTIST BIO: Estelle Goodman (1930-2007, American) was a modernist expressionist painter and sculptor during the mid 20th Century in New York.
