Young woman in flowing dress, patinated bronze, France, circa 1900
A charming French bronze capturing a young woman striding forward as her dress and hair lift in the breeze — a wonderfully romantic moment frozen in metal. The modelling is crisp and feminine: soft facial features, naturalistic hands, and beautifully worked folds that swirl around the ankles as she steps across a stylised foliate base. This is exactly the kind of turn-of-the-century sculpture that enlivened bourgeois interiors: elegant, decorative, yet full of life.
The bronze has a deep, even patina with gentle, honest wear; height approx. 33 cm. Close inspection shows only minor age traces (a tiny casting aperture and a few pin-pricks in the patina), mentioned for accuracy and reflected in the price. Stable and ready to display.
Well-made French bronzes of this quality are increasingly sought after; comparable signed examples trade higher, making this a smart, collection-worthy acquisition.
