Vichi. The statue portrays a coy yet sensuous female figure, bare breasted and partially draped in a gown with a delicately ruffled lace bodice. She is depicted in the act of dressing herself, with her hair styled in a romantically upswept fashion, featuring side braids and neatly tied into a bun. The woman is resting her bare feet on a fringed pouf, placed atop a characteristic Oriental rug.
Ferdinando Vichi ( 1875- 1945) was part of the distinguished and gifted circle of Tuscan sculptors linked to the historic Galleria Pietro Bazzanti in Florence, established in 1822.
His marble and alabaster works reveal both his technical mastery and his deep reverence for the female form. This sculpture's intricate details and hand-carved features are truly remarkable and add to its overall beauty and elegance.
