MICHAEL KEROPIAN SCULPTURE
Houdon's L'Ecorche Restoration
Before
After
The Houdon L'Ecorche casts are available at life-size (above) or at 29 inches (below).
The life-size version was made from an original Houdon sculpture sometime during the turn of the 20th Century. "Houdon" and a Caproni Cast mark can be seen on the base. There are noticable "piece-mold" seams as well on the figure. so the detail is very good. The total height of the figure with the base is six feet, and the arms are roman jointed so they are removable. We were unable to find a left arm to include in our cast, so the left arm was created by Mr. Keropian and not Houdon. The sculptor chose to change the fingers slightly so as not to elude to it's originality. We would appreciate anyone helping us to find an original left arm, or a cast which we might make a mold.
The 29" version is a copy of the life-size and is not from an original Houdon L'Ecorche figure. It is pretty detailed for it's size, and the right arm is removable for shipping.
Both Casts are generally made in bonded stone (polyester resin) for there durability. If you wish a bonded bronze finish let us know when you inquire.
