Abstract
Description
In 1922 Eloff created his second portrait of his friend JH Pierneef (1886 - 1957). This portrait has been cast four times and is in the collections of the Ditsong Cultural History Museum, Johannesburg Art Gallery and the Iziko National Art Gallery in Cape Town, and the Rupert Collection in Stellenbosch. Several art critics mention that the Pierneef bronzes lost the very fine detail in the casting process that was evident on the original plaster.
