Large Art Nouveau–Style Patinated Bronze Sculpture of a Reclining Female Nude, 22” H × 22” L × 9” W
A dramatic and sensual patinated bronze sculpture featuring a reclining female nude, rendered with elongated limbs and expressive movement reminiscent of Art Nouveau and late 19th–early 20th-century European bronze work. The figure is depicted arching backward across a swirling organic and abstracted base, with fluid lines suggesting water, waves, or atmospheric motion—adding a mythological or dreamlike quality to the composition.
The sculptor’s modeling captures anatomical detail, dynamic posture, and emotional expression, giving the piece strong visual impact from every angle. Deep brown patina enhances the sculptural contours and highlights surface texture.
The sweeping base and upward thrust of the composition create a sense of weightlessness, evoking classic themes of muse, nymph, siren, or allegorical female form often found in Art Nouveau bronzes.
Mounted on its integral bronze base.
Unsigned (as shown), but sculpted in the manner of Louis-Ernest Barrias, Clodion, Chiparus, or Moreau, often collected within the same aesthetic category.
22” Dimensions: H:22in L:22in W:9in.
