Josine Croin - Protective set
Signed on the back of the sculpture.
This bronze sculpture by Josine Croin depicts two figures locked in a protective embrace, creating a single, compact and harmonious form. The soft curves and closed posture give the work a sense of security and connection, without being overly expressive or exaggerated. Josine Croin's modeling is slightly rough, allowing the surface to naturally catch the light and allowing the subtle lines and transitions to remain beautifully visible.
The way the two bodies flow together gives the sculpture a timeless and universal appearance. The warm, dark brown patina contributes to the tranquil atmosphere and emphasizes the softness of the form. Despite its compact size, the sculpture retains elegance through its flowing contours and balanced composition.
The result is a sculpture that subtly depicts warmth, connection, and humanity. This piece is particularly well-suited for interiors where tranquility, tenderness, and a sense of togetherness are valued.
