Contract work for others: a marble statue

Now that I have just about recovered from the deep cut in my forearm I'm right away very busy again, with Moses and Aaron, flying buttress figurines as well, carving ornaments, Artemis, and work for third parties. Ben week

I have been busy for another sculptor and have enlarged a figurine for him in Carrara marble (statuario).
Because I don't want to show off using someone else's work, here's a picture of a side view in the making ;). But yes, that also gets made here, working as a contracter. Next I'll be fine tuning everything to his liking and then polishing.

    A Desperate Monk, Reading (flying buttress figurine)

    Weathered The next flying buttress statue in the series for the Eusebius Church was a man in a monk's habit, reading a book and desperately grasping his forehead.
