Their torsos are arched and their heads twisted to one side, as if they are dancing, or perhaps alighting on a bit of hard earth below. These two pieces, especially with lovely green-black patinas, gilded details and marble bases, are very difficult to find. The sculptor, Edward McCartan, is known for his masterful figural sculptures, most notably a life-sized, gilded sculpture of Dionysus with a lion cub that is prominently displayed at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina. less
