An Art Nouveau Sculpture In Marble And Alabaster

Art Nouveau Sculpture in Carrara Marble and Alabaster.
Signed P. CONTE – Italian Sculptor. An elegant Art Nouveau sculpture
depicting a young girl seated, delicately absorbed in contemplating a bouquet of flowers she holds in her hands.
The graceful pose, gentle expression, and naturalistic treatment of form perfectly illustrate the sensitive and poetic aesthetic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The figure is finely crafted in alabaster, offering a luminous, satiny texture, and rests on a sculpted cushion of Carrara marble with subtly nuanced natural veins.
The harmonious contrast between the whiteness of the alabaster and the veined marble lends the whole a great decorative elegance.
The modeling is particularly refined: the delicate features of the face, the delicate hands and feet, the precision of the floral bouquet, and the fluidity of the volumes.
The wavy hair adorned with a bow accentuates the subject's youthful charm.
The work is signed P. CONTE, an Italian sculptor, a guarantee of authenticity and of interest to collectors of Italian Art Nouveau sculpture.
Height: 36 cm.
