Refined patinated bronze sculpture, unique piece signed Fontanella 1/1, work of the sculptor Nuccio Fontanella, protagonist of an expressive research focused on the human figure understood as a synthesis of form, gesture, and emotion.

The work depicts a stylized female figure captured in a pose of delicate balance, suspended on a single point of support. The slender, thread-like body develops vertically with great elegance, while the raised limb and the twist of the torso give the composition a sense of restrained, almost meditative movement.

The dark patina, with slight chromatic variations, accentuates the contrasts of light and enhances the flow of the forms.

The sculpture rests on a wooden base, which stabilizes its verticality without distracting attention from the figure.
