Art Nouveau chryselephantine sculpture - Water carrier - Bronze and ivory - Late 19th century
Elegant chryselephantine sculpture, representing a young water carrier in a naturalistic spirit characteristic of Art Nouveau.

The figure, finely modeled in gilded bronze and shaded brown, is distinguished by the quality of the drapery work, with supple, flowing lines typical of the 1900 aesthetic. The face and exposed arms are in ivory, bringing contrast, softness and refinement to the whole - a process emblematic of the "chryselephantine" technique, highly prized at the time.

The young woman carries a yoke on her shoulders, from which hang two bronze buckets held by metal chains, creating a subtle effect of movement. The delicate, serene expression on her face testifies to the quality of the work.
Bears the artist's signature "MULHEMBECK" on the bottom of the dress.
The work rests on an elegantly carved, veined marble base, underlining the nobility of the materials.

A refined, sought-after decorative piece, representative of 19th-century artistic production, at the crossroads of naturalism and Art Nouveau.
