Imposing white marble sculpture of a nude young bather seated on a rock, gazing up at the sky or horizon in a gentle, meditative posture.
The rough-textured base contrasts with the finesse of the polished body.
Unfortunately, this marble is unsigned, but surely sculpted by a seasoned artist: here he demonstrates great refinement in sculpting expression, but also great mastery of his technique in volume (sculpture in a single block).
Good overall condition, with patina and wear from the passage of time, a few chips and old restorations (toes glued back together).
Late 19th/early 20th century
Height 155cm
72 x 76cm approx.
