By Peter Mueller Typically inspired by the tropics of his adopted country, Brazil, in this striking sculpture Mueller evokes the wintry Antarctic landscape through the use of a pristine, drusy white negative quartz specimen. Marching across this barren land are two adult penguins with their single offspring. The bodies are formed of black obsidian with white and yellow quartz bellies, while the cheeks are inset with brown agate and cabochon pink tourmaline eyes. The gold vermeil feet are stamped with a monogram PM for Peter Mueller. Length 15in
