"nymph By The Water" – Auguste Moreau

This magnificent bronze sculpture by Auguste Moreau depicts a young nymph walking gracefully along the water's edge, supported by lush vegetation. The quality of the bronze is evident in the flowing folds of her garment, the delicate texture of her hair, and the expressive elegance of her hands. The work exudes a timeless classical elegance, characteristic of Moreau's school. The bronze displays a warm patina with multicolored brown hues that beautifully highlights the refined details. The sculpture rests on a luxurious, round base of veined red marble (Rouge Griotte), adorned with a bronze border, subtly embodying the Romantic style. The piece is in excellent original condition; the patina is well preserved, and the bronze reveals remarkable depth and vibrancy.
