A contemporary still-life bronze of a quince, mounted on a round plinth. Here the artist reverses the usual play of finishes: the fruit itself gleams in brilliant mirror-polished gold, full and rounded, catching and bending the light, while the leaves above are rendered in a dark, matte patina that curls and twists like real foliage. The contrast of luminous golden body and shadowed leaves gives this small piece a rich, jewel-like presence — a humble fruit rendered precious.
