Cast in bronze and mounted on a polished circular marble base, the piece focuses on the essential elements of the form—the chest, abdomen, and hips—allowing the anatomy and surface to carry the aesthetic weight.

The bronze shows a rich, naturally variegated patina in deep brown and green tones, with subtle touches of lighter verdigris settling into the recesses. This mottled surface gives the sculpture texture and depth, enhancing the sense of age and timelessness. The truncated shoulders and rough break lines are intentionally retained, offering the look of a classical fragment while maintaining a strong, upright presentation.

Elevated on a dark marble plinth with a metal support, the sculpture is compact yet visually commanding—ideal for consoles, desks, mantels, or curated shelves. It brings a refined academic character to both traditional and contemporary interiors. See less
