About the Item

This statue is a reproduction of "Diane la Chasseresse" (Diana the Huntress) by the renowned 18th-century French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon. The figure represents Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, known for her association with the moon, nature, and wild animals. The sculpture depicts Diana as a lithe, elegant figure, striding forward with a sense of grace and purpose. She is nude, which is typical of classical depictions of deities, emphasizing her connection to nature and the purity of her form. In her left hand, she holds a bow, symbolizing her role as a huntress. The position of her right hand suggests that she once held an arrow, ready to be drawn in the act of hunting. The figure stands on a round base, which is textured to resemble natural terrain, grounding the statue in the outdoor environment that Diana presides over. The sculpture is rendered in bronze, a material favored for its durability and ability to capture fine details in form and expression. This reproduction faithfully captures the neoclassical style and meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy that Houdon was celebrated for, embodying the blend of elegance, strength, and serene beauty that defines the goddess Diana.

Young woman with jug, Carrara marble, signed Bonnal, early 20th century
Located in NICE, FR
Charming sculpture of a young woman carrying a jug, signed by Bonnal on the back and inspired by “Rebecca at the Well” by 19th-century Italian School artist Guglielmo Pugi. The sculpture in fine white Carrara marble, created between the end of the 19ᵉ century and the beginning of the 20ᵉ century, depicts a pensive, lascivious young woman dressed in the fashion of the turn of the century: she wears a turban from which escapes curls of hair and a bracelet characteristic of the period; the cut of her dress is also very elaborate for a simple peasant woman. The finely embroidered motifs on the dress and turban are further evidence of the sculptor's mastery. A delicate, feminine piece that will look great in a hallway or on a dressing table, and will make a lovely gift for an aesthete woman. Guglielmo Pugi lived in Florence, where he ran a sculpture workshop with his two sons. Their workshop, “Guglielmo Pugi e Figli”, was mainly dedicated to exports, particularly to the United States. Guglielmo Pugi's work, emblematic of the Art Nouveau style, is characterized by direct carving in alabaster and Carrara marble (often white or veined). Some of his sculptures are now housed in Volterra's Historical Alabaster Museum. Many of his works were shown at major international exhibitions, such as the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and the 1904 Exposition...
