About the Item
An Art Deco era reclining nude bronze sculpture by Salvatore Melani, created at the end of his career which began in his early 1920s and ended in 1934 at the age of 32. The serene and sensual pose is defined by her beautiful features which are expertly cast.

Mysteriously, she holds an unstrung bow in her uplifted arm. Typically this would be a way to show that the woman depicted was a warrior, or the goddess Diana…but the casual way she brandishes the bow makes her appear to be less of a huntress and more like a “pinup” illustration of a later decade
Melani lived and worked in Italy, creating sculpture in several media: Wood, plaster, spelter metal and, of course, bronze.
