The female figure is portrayed in an elegant and expressive pose, with her arms raised above her head and her body harmoniously integrated into the curve of the crescent moon. The bronze features a rich brown patina that enhances the quality of the modeling—from the finely defined facial features and the rendering of the hair to the precise anatomical articulation of the hands, torso, and legs. The composition possesses a strong mythological and sculptural presence, while the high quality of the casting is particularly evident in the figure and the complex decorative structure positioned beneath the scythe. The sculpture rests on a substantial marble base, creating a refined material contrast with the warm tones of the bronze. This piece dates to around the 1950s and retains a beautiful, natural patina acquired over time, with slight signs of age consistent with the period. Dimensions: H 70 × W 50 × D 35 cm. See less
