Looking for comments/opinions on this small bronze bust. Stands 6" tall off it's granite base. No maker marks to be found. Hollow cast but heavy for it's size. Came with a bronze bust 3x life size. Thanks in advance.

The artist is Hermann J. Pagels, the signature H. J. Pagles may be found on the edge of the neck, left side.
The casting is porous, and has lots of sand cast remnants on the right ear, and overall has little to no patina - signs of a copy. You can look up pictures of the original Pagels busts, they have a very smooth finish with applied patina.
