Description from the seller

Beautiful alabaster sculpture depicting a young woman draped, lying in an elegant pose inspired by Antiquity. The composition recalls the famous figures of Ariadne at rest.
This visual reference, very prominent in neo-classical art, gives the work a poetic and timeless presence.

The soft modeling, abundant hair, and flowing drapes testify to a refined craftsmanship typical of Italian workshops active in the 19th century. The alabaster displays a beautiful creamy translucency.

Some missing parts (see photos), hand re-glued.
