"Seated Female Nude, " Lovely French Art Deco Sculpture

About the Item

Finished in a soft ivory glaze with subtle shifts to dove grey, this lovely, placid nude is depicted in a seated position with her hands clasped and her gaze looking into the distance, the subject deep in thought. Unsigned, though marked with a "W" on its base, the sculpture is French, and has all the signs of a sophisticated hand.
