A unique addition to any collection we have cast a set of 3 soldiers as well as President Abraham Lincoln with various patinas. Considered the greatest war in American history, it demonstrated that the desire for freedom travels deeper than the color of any skin and further than the borders of any state. Modern Art Foundry is a fine art metal casting and conservation facility in NYC that over the years has completed a number of projects related to the US Civil War. Most likely our grandest conservation and restoration project was the stabilization and bronze casting of the four zinc civil war figures that were installed at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn in the late 1800's. Following this project as well as a restoration project on both northern and southern monuments, Modern Art Foundry in association with their design group "MAF Designs", commissioned four small portraits: Abraham Lincoln and three soldiers.

The three soldiers are not intended to be any one soldier of the north or south, but a cross reference to all soldiers and officers during that time of profound conflict in our country. Bronze Civil War Soldier portrait measuring 9" x 4" x 4. Patina is a warm dark brown accenting highlights and details. Limited edition of 9, original, foundry markings present. The art of lost wax casting, practiced for over 4000 years, is an incredibly precise metal casting technique.

Properly executed, it ensures accurate, detailed reproduction of an original sculpture. Historically used for many types of work from miniature to colossal in size, the process allows for variations in finish and final appearance.
