About the Item
This sensuous, languorous female nude, cast in bronze and designed to serve as a candle base, was probably sculpted by Edith Barretto Stevens Parsons, given that the artist did another sculpture with a similar pose that was cast by the Roman Bronze Works, as here. The figure's close embrace of the sinuous lily pad (which provides the place for a candle) shows the clear influence of Auguste Rodin and the Art Nouveau movement. This piece has a dark, lustrous patina, displays the foundry mark, and the date of creation, 1904.

Edith Barretto Stevens Parsons
Born in Halifax, Virginia, Edith Parsons studied at the Art Students League in New York with John Twachtman, Daniel Chester French, and George Bernard. Her specialty was memorial fountains including ones in John Galloway Public Park in Memphis, Tennessee, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Summit, New Jersey. She also did several portrait busts and animal figures. From 1908 to 1933, she exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Her work, "Frog Baby" is the focal point of the museum of small sculpture in Brookgreen Gardens, Murrell's Inlet, SC. Source: Peter Falk, "Who Was Who in American Art"
