Description of the work: Refined period sculpture made of white, veined alabaster, depicting a young woman in Middle Eastern/exotic dress carrying an amphora of water to a spring. The work stands out for the incredible delicacy of the face and the mastery of the drapery of the clothes, which reveal the softness of the forms below.
The chromatic contrast between the white alabaster of the body and the natural grain of the stone on the robe and base gives the work a unique depth and realism. The figure is embellished with finely finished details, such as the gold bracelets on the arms and the jewels on the headdress.
Artist details: The work bears the signature engraved on the base "R. Parent", a French sculptor active between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his elegant female figures and gender themes, often made with noble materials such as marble and alabaster.
