This splendid bronze sculpture, depicting a classic "Bather" or "Woman Bathing," is a creation by Italian master Sergio Gasparri, part of an exclusive and strictly limited edition of just five pieces.

Note on the Author: Sergio Gasparri is a renowned Italian sculptor, known for his skill in modeling female figures and his modern reinterpretation of classical sculpture. His works are characterized by vibrant surfaces, textured patinas, and a profound psychological exploration of his subjects. While maintaining a strong connection to anatomy and figuration, his style eschews cold academicism, giving his sculptures a lived-in feel and a strong expressionist influence.

Subject and Style: The sculpture depicts a female figure captured in a moment of quiet and contemplation, her arms raised and clasped behind her head in a classic and elegant pose. The modeling is not smooth but "vibrant" and textured (post-Impressionist style), with a deliberately irregular surface that captures the light, creating a suggestive play of light and shade. The antique green faux oxidation patina gives the work the allure of an archaeological find.

Material and Finish: The sculpture is cast in solid bronze with a refined green/burnished patina. The figure rests on a clod-shaped bronze base, which in turn is mounted on an elegant pedestal of veined pink marble. The artist's signature "S. Gasparri" and the edition number "4/5" are hand-engraved on the bronze base, near the figure's feet, certifying the near-uniqueness of this piece.
