About the Item

A unique piece: a hand modelled sculpture by French artist Jeannine Nathan (b.1924). Working in Paris, Jeannine was able to visit Picasso’s studio, and was impressed by the Master’s sculpture, which would influence her work. Sje exhibited in Italy and Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, and the sculpture presented here dates from this period. The sculpture is signed with the artist's monogram.
