Aristide Maillol

Sculptor, French, 1861 - 1944

The sculpture depicts a seated nude female figure with her left leg crossed over her right and her right hand raised with a slight bend at the wrist. Her head is tilted downwards, and she appears to be looking towards her right side, with her hair tied in a bun. The sculpture is crafted in a dark, bronze-like material with a slightly reflective surface. She is seated on a simple rectangular block that serves as a base.
