Important Bronze Sculpture – Oriental Woman With A Pitcher – Signed Marchand – Schoenewerk

Important and highly decorative bronze sculpture with a brown patina, depicting a young Oriental woman seated by the water, with a pitcher placed at her side.

The young woman is depicted in a dreamy and contemplative pose, her head delicately resting on her hand.

She wears a long, draped garment with numerous folds, as well as a necklace and bracelets.

The composition is particularly refined, with beautiful detailing in the drapery, hair, hands, and feet.

At her side, a jug with oriental decoration and aquatic plants complete the scene.

The naturalistic base evokes the surroundings of a body of water.

The bronze features a beautiful antique brown patina, nuanced in places, which particularly highlights the modeling and reliefs.

A beautiful, highly decorative Orientalist sculpture, characteristic of the 19th-century taste for the Orient and exoticism.
