Creator: Philip and Kelvin LaVerne
Offered by: Lobel Modern, Inc.

Description
Monumental and unique engraved painting, a combination of the “Horses Plaque” and “Peasants Plaque”, in patinated bronze and pewter with vibrant hand-applied enamel cloisonne in blue, green, yellow, and orange by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, American 1960s (signed “Philip Kelvin LaVerne” on front). This series was not made in this large size; this was a custom order. The impressive scale, as well as the striking coloration of enamel cloisonne against the rich patina of the bronze make this work a standout.
