Project History
Historical Context

The Artistic Challenge
The challenge was to capture the subtle qualities of personality and presence, creating a portrait that transcends mere likeness to convey character and spirit.
Casting Process
Detailed modeling (S1) focused on capturing natural expression and posture. Lost-wax casting (S3) preserved the delicate features and subtle textures that bring the sculpture to life.
Legacy and Impact
