AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming and poetic vintage bronze sculpture representing a graceful woman standing on a ladder while picking apples in an orchard. The piece celebrates the beauty of the human form and the timeless connection between femininity and nature, rendered with sensitivity and artistic refinement.
Material: Solid bronze
Style: Artistic nude / figurative art
Period: Vintage, mid-20th century
Height: [insert measurements if known]
Condition: Very good vintage condition with a warm, natural patina
The sculptor captured a moment of everyday elegance: the figure stretches gently toward the fruit, her posture balanced and natural, full of movement and life. The ladder and delicate apple branches add narrative detail, creating a scene that feels both intimate and classical, reminiscent of pastoral themes in European art.
The surface displays a rich aged patina that enhances the contours of the body and highlights the fine craftsmanship of the modeling. From every angle the sculpture offers harmonious lines and expressive character, making it a captivating decorative object.
An ideal piece for collectors of vintage bronzes, art-nouveau and figurative sculpture, or for anyone seeking a tasteful and evocative artwork with a romantic, pastoral spirit.
A beautiful and distinctive addition to any interior or art collection.
