Fall of Eve, Art Deco Multi-Color Patinated Bronze Sculpture, ca. 1920

About the Item

Bearing a clear aesthetic influence of the Art Deco era, this wonderfully beautiful image of the progenitor Eve is a Western-European school sculptural portrait of a stunningly beautiful young woman in the state of erotic ecstasy; bowing her head and lustfully listening to the voluptuous speeches of the serpent, tempting her to eat from the forbidden fruit, and wrapping around her beautiful shoulders - that is, at that very critical moment preceding the fall of her and Adam in the Garden of Eden. A masterly sculpted face with half-closed eyes, an unusual red patina of feverish blush on her cheeks and crimson swollen lips emphasize sensuality and make this sculpture not only almost life-like, but also highly decorative.
