About the Item
splendid abstract representation of Don Quixote de la Mancha.
This work is not just a decorative object, but a character piece: made entirely of worked and brazed copper, it perfectly embodies the "Brutalist" style typical of the 1960s and 1970s. The spindly figure of the Sad Figure Knight looms upward with his spear, evoking the allure of dreams and idealism.
Why choose it:
Precious Material: Made of copper, with a magnificent natural patina that turns from deep brown to emerald green (verdigris) on the base, a sign of authenticity and passing time.
Unique Style: Twisted shapes and firebranding make each detail unrepeatable.
Scenic Presence: At 55 cm tall, it is the perfect addition to a bookcase, an office desk or as a centerpiece in a minimalist setting.

Subject: Don Quixote of La Mancha.
Material: Copper (structure) on stone/travertine base.
Size: 20 x 20 cm (base) x 55 cm (height).
Conservation Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with original patina enhancing the aesthetic value.
