Final considerations on the object:
The sculpture is very similar to the ladies with flowers created by the great Austrian ceramist Michael Powolny and is made in full Liberty - Art Nouveau style, extremely expressive, with a sweet and thoughtful face. Both the flowers and the enamels, with soft and delicate colors, clearly follow the dictates of the Liberty style, the delicate polychromy gives the sculpture a wonderful flavor of evanescence, a real touch of class that makes the sculpture diaphanous and soft. A rare and collectible object.
