Description
Statuette depicting a figure with slender arms pressed against the body, in a posture of great simplicity. The piece is characterised by a pronounced verticality: an elongated body, outstretched arms and short legs, creating a slender, refined silhouette that borders on abstraction. The extreme stylisation of this work lends the figure an almost timeless presence. Wood with a natural patina, showing signs of age.
