Beach Girl by C.H. Montgomery
One of artist C.H. Montgomery's "pin-up girl" series, this bronze is a modern adaptation of a popular late 19th century sculpture entitled "Awakening." In his version of this theme, Montgomery depicts a svelte seaside girl reveling in the sun, attired in cut-off denim shorts and deck shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and a floppy beach hat.

Montgomery has built a strong following for his tongue-in-cheek renderings of familiar themes and everyday items. His work's fresh perspective and clean lines harken back to simpler times.

"Beach Girl" is available exclusively through in a limited edition of just 500 castings, each individually numbered and stamped into the bronze. Each work in this limited edition is mounted onto a marble base, stands a substantial 31" tall, and is signed "C Montgomery" in the bronze. The whitish color of her top and the bluish color of her cut-offs are applied under very high heat so that they are permanently fused into the bronze itself.
