This evocative sculpture, titled “Female Figure”, is by Italian artist Salvatore Melani (1902–1934), known for his expressive and finely detailed works. The piece is primarily cast in bronze, with the head and hands meticulously modeled in clay, highlighting Melani’s attention to anatomical detail and his skill in combining materials. Standing 41 cm in height, the sculpture captures a delicate balance of realism and artistic interpretation, conveying both strength and grace in the female form.

This artwork is a rare example of Melani’s work and would be of significant interest to collectors of early modern Italian sculpture...
