Beautiful antique bronze sculpture depicting a lady in a classical robe undressing outside to go for a swim. As she begins to disrobe a butterfly greets her by landing on her shoulder. The bronze is inscribed Machault. It measures 13 inches tall. Diameter at the base is 4-1/2 inches. Widest width measures 5 inches. Weight: 7-1/2 lbs. Paul Francois Machault born in Paris in 1835, was the son of Paul Emile Machault born in 1800. Both he and his father were prominent French sculptors and exhibited at Paris salons. Paul Francois Machault sculptures are very rare. Most of them were so good that they were purchased as soon as they were offered for sale and never left France. We are very fortunate to offer such a beautiful example of his work. The sculpture we are offering has its original chocolate brown patina, she is beautifully sculptured and looks alive. Excellent condition guaranteed to please as are all our items. (Item #72025)
