TOTMAN and is hallmarked CHRISTOFLE France. Titled "The Time, The Trinity, The Prudence," the 1991 sculpture in silver plated metal. Engraved on the back, 'with my best wishes for 1991" greeting by Albert Bouilhet who was President of Christofle at the time. I have always thought Christofle commissioned this piece as a holiday gift for his friends and clients.

Let this charming little sculpture keep an eye (or 6) on you and remind you to write that note you've been avoiding. Use it as a paper weight to keep a stack of important notes in place. It is such a special piece it will surely spark conversation.

The American artist Andrew Alan Totman, a master printmaker, was born in 1961. Information on this sculpture is elusive but has been attributed several times to Claude Picasso, the son of Pablo Picasso, titled "Four Faces".
