This delicate, patinated plaster statue on a marble pedestal is a tribute to grace and femininity.
Auguste Carli (1868–1930), a French sculptor born in Marseille, is famous for his monumental works designed for public buildings, as well as for more intimate pieces, including numerous female nudes.
This statue, signed “A. Carli,” on the terrace is the perfect illustration of this second aspect of his work.
The figure is a young woman reclining on her side, her upper body resting against a rock, her abundant hair cascading down her back.
She hides her face in the crook of her bent left arm.
Her hands are clasped above her head, and her crossed feet reveal the extreme delicacy of her fingers and toes.
To paraphrase Charles Aznavour, the artist has achieved near-perfection in “the line of a breast, the curve of a hip”…
He has imbued this depiction of the female anatomy with great tenderness, showing both respect and modesty.
This is a truly beautiful work of art that will be the crowning jewel of your home.
