Lapis Lazuli Sculpture - Young Asian Musician - 20th Century

Lapis lazuli sculpture - Young Asian musician - 20th century

Charming sculpture finely carved from a block of natural lapis lazuli, depicting an Asian-inspired young woman, seated in graceful movement and appearing to play the flute.

The work highlights the richness of the stone, with deep shades of blue punctuated by lighter natural inclusions characteristic of lapis lazuli. The supple drapery of the garment, as well as the treatment of the face and hairstyle, reflect an elegant decorative intent, in a spirit inspired by Chinese art.

The composition is animated by a play of volumes and movements, with stylized plant elements accompanying the figure, bringing a beautiful dynamic to the whole.

The set rests on a carved wooden base, perfectly matching the shape of the piece.

Dimensions: length 8.7 cm; height 8.6 cm (with base)

Very good overall condition.

A refined decorative piece, ideal for a display case or cabinet of curiosities, combining the nobility of hard stone with a poetic representation of Asian inspiration.
