According to Ursel Berger, co-author of the most recent Sintenis catalgue raisonné, there are often slight variations among the castings of a single model among Sintenis's bronzes, as the foundry used a lost-wax method and the soft wax could bend easily, particularly in the narrow, most delicate areas.
