Large French Art Deco Terracotta Sculpture by Ugo Cipriani (1887–1960), France 1920. An exceptional large-scale French Art Deco terracotta sculpture by renowned Italian-born sculptor Ugo Cipriani (1887–1960), depicting a graceful nude female figure in a dynamic kneeling pose. Rich in movement and emotion, this striking work perfectly captures the elegance, sensuality, and modernity that define the Art Deco period. Executed in terracotta, the sculpture displays warm natural tones and finely modeled anatomical details, highlighting Cipriani’s remarkable ability to convey both strength and femininity. The dramatic upward gaze and fluid composition create a powerful visual presence, making this piece an outstanding focal point for an Art Deco interior, sculpture collection, or curated design space. The sculpture is signed "U. Cipriani" on the base, confirming its authenticity. Dimensions: Height: 24 in (61 cm) Width: 20.9 in (53 cm) Depth: 7.5 in (19 cm) Born in Florence, Ugo Cipriani studied at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and became known for his mastery of marble, bronze, alabaster, and terracotta.
