This museum replica sculpture represents Standing Woman, also known as Madame Lachaise, by French-born American modernist sculptor Gaston Lachaise. Modeled between 1912 and 1927, the original work is a landmark of American Modernism and depicts the artist’s wife and lifelong muse, Isabel Dutaud Nagle, whom Lachaise famously described as a “Goddess.” The figure departs from classical ideals, presenting a powerful, voluptuous form that conveys both monumental mass and a sense of buoyant poise, often interpreted as a modern reinterpretation of ancient fertility figures and a celebration of the human body and spirit.
This example is a licensed museum reproduction produced by Alva Museum Replicas (Alva Studios), a company founded in 1948 to create high-quality authorized replicas of important works held in major museum collections. Replicas of Standing Woman were typically made in patinated plaster or Alvastone to closely emulate the appearance of bronze and are commonly marked with inscriptions referencing the artist and Alva copyright. The sculpture is mounted on a wooden base and reflects the enduring influence of Lachaise’s work, which is represented in institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
