Italian White Marble Sculpture, Girl Playing Tennis

About the Item

This sculpture of a young girl playing tennis, crafted from precious Italian Carrara marble, exemplifies the artistic brilliance of its probable 1920s or 1930s origin. The detailed depiction captures the essence of a carefree, sunny day, emphasizing the joy and lightheartedness of a friendly match through the girl's expressive smile and typical period attire. The dynamic pose, particularly evident in the skillful rendering of the folds of her skirt as she prepares to serve, shows a masterful command of movement and detail. Although the sculpture is unsigned and does not have a certificate of attribution, its exceptional quality suggests the hand of a highly skilled artist. The aged patina on the white marble adds to the piece's historical appeal. Of particular note in its state of preservation is a restoration on the left hand. However, this repair does not detract from the overall impact and beauty of the sculpture, which remains a captivating tribute to both the sport and the era it represents.
