This elegant cast depicts a barefoot young woman in flowing drapery, serenely holding a floral garland. Her downward gaze and delicate posture convey a quiet sense of introspection and harmony with nature.
While unsigned, the casting quality is excellent—far superior to the more commonly seen later reproductions. The piece has a warm, light brown patina and is very heavy, weighing approximately 34 pounds.
