Bidspirit auction | Female Sculptural Figure – ”L'Eubea”

Female Sculptural Figure – ”L'Eubea” – Neoclassical Academic Art 75 cm - Artistic and Material Analysis: Composition and Pose: The figure is depicted standing, with a slight torsion of the torso that gives dynamism to the sculpture. The right hand gracefully supports a bundle of wheat ears or a vegetal element, a symbol that could connect the work to the allegory of Summer or the goddess Ceres. Costume Details: The woman wears a tunic belted below the bust, characterized by dense and deep folds that create strong contrasts of light and shadow. Her head is adorned with a large turban or band that wraps around her hair, a detail of great refinement that frames a face with soft, dreamy features. Finishes: The work features delicate golden highlights along the edges of the garments and in the headdress details, a precious finish that enhances the plasticity of the sculpture and suggests its original placement in a high-bourgeois interior. Technical Sheet: Subject: Allegorical female figure in classical attire. Material: Carved white marble (or high-quality reconstituted marble powder) with gold finishes. Height: 75 cm. Period: Circa 1870 - 1890. Condition: Excellent; the surface shows a splendid patina of time and no visible breaks or restorations.
