Italian school of the early 20th century.
"Woman with pitcher".
Marble.
Signed on the base.
Measurements: 88 cm (height).
Female sculpture carved in marble, of delicate workmanship and classical inspiration.
The water carrier holds the pitcher on her right shoulder, giving her body a slight inclination inspired by the Greek contrapposto. The dress folds naturally to the rhythm of the subtle movement of the body. The sculptor has impressed on the marble a ductility that denotes a masterful command of the material. This can be seen, for example, in the drapery that hangs from the waist and ends in a delicate fringe. Beneath the long, flowing skirt, a pair of small bare feet can be seen. The young woman's features, enhanced by the knotted scarf around her neck, are harmonious and precise.
