About

Fine French cubist terracotta statue of Leda and the swan signed S.Beauvais. Based on a classical theme from Greek mythology, Zeus appeared in front of Leda and seduced her. The French sculptor, Beauvais depicts here a feeling of monumental mass and power,the visual block form contrasted with the delicacy and gracefulness of the embrace. This envelopment of the artistically rendered winged swan engaging the nude female portrays a soft yet erotic overtone. Key Words: figurines, decorative objects,Modernist, mid century, busts,nude,mantel
