Juan Clara and Ayats (1875-1958) Solid Bronze Sculpture on Marble Base

About the Item

Juan Clara i Ayats (1875–1958) – Patinated Bronze Sculpture on Marble Base Catalonia, Early 20th Century A refined and emotive solid bronze sculpture by renowned Catalan artist Juan Clara i Ayats, celebrated for his deeply humanistic and costumbrista depictions of everyday life. Known primarily for his tender portrayals of children and domestic scenes, Clara masterfully conveys intimacy and grace in this sensitively modeled figure. The sculpture presents a kneeling nude female figure, rendered with soft yet deliberate anatomical detail, expressive gesture, and an air of introspection. The artist's hallmark approach—blending realism with emotional nuance—is evident in the poised form and gentle turn of the subject's head. Richly patinated, the bronze surface exhibits a warm, aged luster that enhances the sculptural depth. The work is mounted on a polished black marble base, which provides a stable and elegant contrast to the organic warmth of the bronze. Details: Artist: Juan Clara i Ayats (1875–1958) Medium: Patinated solid bronze Base: Polished black marble Dimensions: 30 x 17 x 15 cm (overall) Origin: Catalonia, Spain Condition: Excellent, with a fine patina and only minor signs of age A beautiful example of early 20th-century Catalan sculpture, this piece is ideal for collectors of figurative bronzes or enthusiasts of Spanish regional art.
