| Description |
This standing female possesses a commanding
presence and bears the mark of her aristocratic,
even royal heritage. Her legs which are firmly set
apart with hands on her hips displays her
confidence, while her elaborate garments and
jewelry tell us she is a woman of some
distinction. It is exactly this quality, which has
inspired and awed artists such as Henry Moore
and Picasso, who emulated similar lines in their
work. This beautiful piece would make anyone
feel part of the privileged class this lovely lady
once belonged to.
