Antique Alabaster Sculpture Depicting A Female Figure, 19th Century

An ancient alabaster sculpture depicting a kneeling female figure in the round. Lombardy, 19th century.

The composition is centered on a vertical axis but is enlivened by a slight twist of the torso and the tilt of the head, which lend it dynamism and expressive intensity.

The figure rests on her knees atop a roughly hewn oval base that serves as a simple support without interfering with the composition’s impact.

The anatomy is rendered with remarkable accuracy, highlighting the most exposed parts of the body.

The drapery is one of the most refined elements of the work, with the garment slipping off the left shoulder to reveal the breast.

P.S. The column can be purchased to match the sculpture.
