Art Nouveau Bronze Figure “The Vine” on Black Marble - Olive-Brown Patina - H. 41,8 cm

A female nude drawn into a taut arc, a grapevine stretched between her hands.

Rising on tiptoe, the young woman leans far back, one arm pointing upward and the other towards the ground, with grapes and leaves framing the movement and vines in her hair. Nature and joie de vivre were central themes of art around 1900, making this a piece for Art Nouveau collectors and wine lovers alike.

Craftsmanship

Smoothly modelled skin meets finely recut foliage, while a warm glow lies on the olive-brown patina. A piece of rock links the figure to a stepped round base of black marble.

Care

A soft brush or a dry microfibre cloth is enough. Avoid metal cleaners, and keep acids such as wine or lemon away from the marble.
