Executed in a refined academic style typical of the late 19th to early 20th century, the figure is cast in spelter (white metal) with a darkened faux-bronze patina.
The sculpture features soft facial modeling, flowing drapery, and an ornate plinth base with scrolling feet. The harp motif lends an allegorical and timeless presence, making this piece especially well-suited as a tabletop accent, shelf display, console vignette, or library décor.
Originally produced as a decorative clock topper or as part of a clock garniture ensemble, this piece now works beautifully as a standalone sculptural object, offering versatility beyond its original use. Its compact scale allows it to integrate effortlessly into both traditional and eclectic interiors.
A charming and authentic antique sculpture, ideal for collectors of classical figural art, music-themed décor, or European decorative arts from the Belle Époque period.
