This sculpture is a splendid example of early 20th century Italian art, capturing the essence of the Art Deco period through its elegance and attention to detail. Art Deco, known for its use of fine materials, stylized forms and an emphasis on modernity and luxury, finds a perfect canvas in the white marble from which the sculpture is carved. The sculpture itself, depicting a nude female figure, resonates with the Art Deco aesthetic that often embraced the human form in idealized and graceful forms. The serene expression, slight smile and contemplative gaze contribute to the realistic and natural quality of the work, suggesting a moment of peaceful introspection. The hairstyle, reflecting early 20th century fashion, further places the sculpture firmly in its historical context. The choice of a dark green marble base is a masterful touch, as it not only supports the sculpture but also frames it, enhancing the contrast and highlighting the purity of the white marble. This contrast catches the eye, allowing the viewer to better appreciate the fine details and the sculptor's skill in creating texture and dimension.
very small defect visible in the photos details on one arm, probably a natural defect of the marble
