Crafted using the complex "paste of glass" technique—a laborious process revitalized by Daum in the mid-20th century—this sculpture features a classically draped female figure with a soft, ethereal translucency. The rich emerald and cerulean palette creates a jewel-like depth that beautifully captures and diffuses ambient light, highlighting the figure's graceful form. This piece serves as an authoritative example of the high-design art glass movement, offering a sophisticated blend of classical Hellenistic influence and textural modernism.


Measuring 4.75 inches wide by 3 inches deep and standing 9.75 inches tall, this substantial glass sculpture is perfectly scaled for a grand mantel, a curated library shelf, or as a sophisticated accent in a master suite. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying a soft, age-appropriate patina and minor surface scuffs that only enhance its authentic character and storied provenance. This singular work of art offers a rare opportunity for the discerning collector to add a piece of French cultural history to their home.
