This refined Art Nouveau sculpture of a standing female nude was created by French sculptor Joe Descomps-Cormier (1869–1950), one of the most respected artists associated with the decorative arts of the Belle Époque.
Executed around 1900, the sculpture perfectly embodies the elegance and sensuality of the Art Nouveau movement. The graceful pose and harmonious proportions celebrate the beauty of the female form while reflecting the period’s fascination with nature and idealized femininity.
Cast in gilt bronze, the sculpture possesses a luminous golden surface that enhances the delicate modelling and refined details. The marble base provides an elegant contrast and reinforces the luxurious presentation of the work.
An important feature is the foundry mark of Susse Frères, one of France’s most prestigious bronze foundries. Works bearing the Susse Frères stamp are highly regarded by collectors and institutions worldwide.
Today, Joe Descomps’ sculptures are sought after by collectors of Art Nouveau, French decorative arts and museum-quality bronze sculpture.
