Description
Elegant sculpture depicting a standing female figure by Affortunato Gory, an Italian sculptor known for decorative figures produced during the early 20th century in the Art Nouveau and early Art Deco style. The figure is shown in a graceful pose wearing a flowing gown while holding a fan behind her shoulder, emphasizing movement and refined detail in the drapery and posture. The sculpture features a gilt bronze body with contrasting light-toned face and arms, a stylistic approach commonly seen in Gory’s decorative works. The base bears the incised signature “A. Gory.”

Gory’s sculptures often portray elegant female subjects inspired by Belle Époque fashion and theatrical elegance, making them popular decorative works of the period.
