This beautiful nude of a young woman, with sensual forms and wide hips, evokes the elegance of the early 20th century. Her body, sculpted from the knees up, rests on a sort of mound, her head turned to one side, emphasizing her opulent hair. The generous thighs, slightly rounded belly and small breasts are those of a young woman with a perfect body, inspiring both desire and gentleness.
Born in Naples in 1881, Amedeo Gennarelli was a sculptor of the Art-Deco period, a pupil of Francesco Jerace. In 1909, he moved to Paris, where his female nudes earned him a reputation.
