Art Deco limestone statue or petrified water of an elegant woman early 20th

As beautiful as it is intriguing, this limestone or "Petrified Water" version of the "Mincing Woman" is an astonishing feat of French Auvergnat craftsmanship, in the early 20th century, during the Art Deco period (1910-1939).

With her slender posture and playful gaze, this is an allegory of love at first sight, thanks to a woman whose posture is inspired by Art Deco geometry, caught up in a mad passion at the sight of her love.

The technique used of petrifying water is not that of sculpture, but of casting. thermomineral springs are used to create decorative objects in calcite. The craftsman gives artistic form to the limestone material without sculpting it, using two techniques: inlay on molding and crystallization, giving this realistic, brilliant and stunning result.
