Refined period alabaster sculpture, depicting a young woman in a moment of intimate abandonment and relaxation. The figure is softly placed in a padded armchair (probably a bergère), with his arms raised behind his head in a gesture of spontaneous sensuality and his eyes half-closed in a dreamy expression.
The work is an excellent example of the Art Nouveau style (Liberty Style), characterized by fluid lines and a particular attention to the grace of the female body. Gambogi's mastery emerges clearly in the treatment of details:
The drapery: The light robe adheres to the body, defining the shapes delicately.
The material contrast: The smooth finish of the leather contrasts harmoniously with the finely crafted texture of the cushions and fringes of the armchair.
The pose: The pyramidal composition, although dynamic in the twisting of the torso, conveys a deep sense of quiet and bourgeois luxury.
