Lady with Flowers

For those of you that enjoyed my posts earlier this month about "The Bather" Czech figural statue (if you missed it CLICK HERE), then allow me to present another barely covered young lady sitting on a rock in her birthday suit, and this time in the lovely form of "Lady with Flowers", as sculpted (and signed) by French Nouveau artist, Moreau. And though featured here in a later plaster reproduction version, she's still wonderfully realized at nearly 24" high, and with every wonderful cloth fold detail captured, and every supple body curve creating flawlessly vivid, Victorian beauty. She looks absolutely gorgeous here in my backyard, but unfortunately that's not where she'll stay, as it didn't take long for her to be covered in midwest bugs, not to mention my crazy cat practically knocking her over by simply rubbing up against the base. Ah well, she looks just as spectacular in my dining room now too, so no loss...

Those mid west bugs are uneducated rabble, not realizing art such as this is to be seen, not touched. Those loutish insects are the reason there are "Do Not Touch" signs in museums.

This is an excellent statuette, one more addition to Karswell's Museum of Majestic Models and the Macabre.

I like the "far away" look on this, and the continuation between the flowers and the ... flowers I'd assume ... in her hand. Very nice, and incredible work on the fabric.
