School of Claude Michel Clodion (20 December 1738–29 March 1814)

A stunning pair of 19th-century bronze Bathing Beauty bookends or sculptures, attributed to the School of Claude Michel Clodion (1738–1814), renowned for his Rococo-style depictions of sensual and playful figures. These finely cast bronzes each stand 9 inches high, 4 inches wide, and 5 inches deep, and are exceptional examples of 19th-century workmanship.

Each sculpture features an intricately detailed figure of a bathing beauty, delicately posed with one foot reaching toward the water. The figures are adorned in draped garments, which are remarkably revealing for the period, highlighting the grace, fluidity, and sensuality that characterize Clodion's artistic influence. The bronze patina enhances the depth and detail, emphasizing the delicate contours and lifelike expressions.

These pieces are unsigned, but their quality reflects the skill and attention to detail of the Clodion School. They serve beautifully as bookends, decorative sculptures.
