Description

This piece, cast through the age old lost wax process, showcases a native girl in repose, her body language exuding tranquility as she reclines across a smooth rock with a fish, symbolizing freedom and grace, resting on her legs.

The girl's hair, meticulously braided, frames her serene countenance. Her nude body, rendered in exquisite detail, evokes a sense of both vulnerability and strength. The artist's mastery of form and texture is evident in the smooth contours of the bronze. The nude figure is both a celebration of natural beauty and an homage to cultural heritage. Signed and dated 1969 by the artist himself, this sculpture is a masterful work set elegantly upon a polished marble base.
