This stunning Art Nouveau sculpture is a large-scale painted plaster figure of a partially draped female nude adorned with flowers and flowing drapery. Sculpted with remarkable grace and movement, the figure captures the essence of nature-inspired sensuality typical of the Art Nouveau period. Her long hair swirls around her, merging with a crown of blooming flowers, while her gown clings to her form in fluid, organic folds, evoking the aesthetic ideals of renewal, beauty, and femininity.
The surface retains its original polychrome patina, with subtle touches of gold and soft pigments that enhance the model’s ethereal presence. The base, sculpted as part of the piece, is richly textured to resemble intertwined vines and blossoms, grounding the figure in a dreamlike natural world.
This piece is stylistically and thematically inspired by the works of Alphonse Mucha and Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, but most closely resembles the sculptural creations of Louis-Ernest Barrias or Affortunato Gory, known for their female allegorical figures and idealized beauty. It likely dates to circa 1895–1910 and was probably produced by a Parisian workshop specializing in decorative plaster statuary during the Belle Époque.
A rare and evocative example of French decorative sculpture, perfect for collectors of Art Nouveau and lovers of poetic interiors.
