Bronze Sculpture, Signed Gaetano Cellini, “female Figure,” 20th Century
Bronze sculpture, signed Gaetano Cellini, “Female Figure,” 20th century
Technique: Lost-wax casting
Material: Patinated bronze on light marble base
Signature: Engraved on base
Epoch: 20th century (stylistic attribution)
Overall height: H 46/50
Description:
Evocative bronze sculpture depicting a female figure wrapped in a flowing mantle, with a collected posture and bare feet barely visible beneath the folds of the drapery. The surface treatment highlights expressionist modeling, vibrant with movement and introspection.
The light marble base contrasts with the warm patina of the bronze, emphasizing the verticality of the composition. The work is signed “Cellini” at the base, a reference to the famous Renaissance sculptor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, although in style and execution it is more likely to be placed in a twentieth-century context, inspired by the plastic language of European expressionism.
