The Proposal
Limited Edition Bronze Sculpture of Terns by Geoffrey C. Smith, 2000.
10"L x 14"W x 22"H including the square base.
The coastal ritual of romance takes form in The Proposal. Poised and graceful, this original bronze sculpture captures a tender moment between two terns. One offers a fish to the other in a courtship gesture frozen mid-motion. Cast using the traditional lost-wax process, the piece highlights the elegant contours and natural lift of the wings, transforming a beautiful wildlife display into enduring grace.
A hand-applied patina beautifully emphasizes the sleek feathers and expressive, hand-sculpted textures of the piece. Perched on a naturalistic branch and mounted on a polished square base, this striking fine art centerpiece introduces a profound sense of connection and warmth into a space. A timeless celebration of love frozen in time, this bronze bird statue stands as a poetic and playful representation of connection and balance within the natural world.
