Art Nouveau alabaster sculpture by E. Battiglia depicting a young schoolgirl from the late 19th century
Created by the Italian sculptor Eugénio Battiglia of Florence in the late 19th century, this allegorical sculpture of learning is symbolized by a young girl in a schoolgirl’s uniform holding a satchel.
Her serious expression belies her mischievous face. One can sense the emerging power of Art Nouveau in this sculpture, which seems to transcend late 19th-century Neoclassicism and move toward Art Nouveau with a more organic form inspired by the fluid curves of nature.
Crafted from alabaster, it is in excellent overall condition. Sculptures by this artist, especially in this material, are rare; the hard and sturdy alabaster shines with its immaculate white hue.
This signed sculpture will be ideal for you if you are a collector of late 19th-century Art Nouveau.
