Italian sculptor (19th century) - Reclining maiden.

Italian sculptor (19th century) - Reclining maiden. 32 x 12 x h 9 cm. Full-round sculpture in carved alabaster. The sculpture depicts a nude young female figure reclining on a pillow, partially draped in finely executed fabric. The natural translucency of alabaster lends a pleasing softness to the rendering of the flesh, a quality appreciated by Grand Tour collectors who sought such sculptures as testaments to Italian Neoclassical taste. The attention to detail in the drapery and the overall quality of execution suggest the hand of a sculptor with a strong academic background.
