Art Nouveau statue in spelter – 'Youth'

Very beautiful Art Nouveau sculpture depicting an elegant young woman, titled 'Youth', a work attributed to the Italian sculptor Aristide de Ranieri, a well-known artist of the Belle Époque. The female figure is shown in a graceful and sinuous pose, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, with a fluid drapery and a delicate movement of the body. The brown-bronze patina highlights the details of the face, hair, and the folds of the dress.
