This Italian walnut sculpture of a Roman bather is a sublime example of the artistic ideals of its time. It embodies the classical principles of beauty and balance and showcases the sculptor's exceptional skill in bringing to life a moment of ancient serenity with the medium of hand-carved walnut. Made of rich, warm walnut wood, the sculpture represents a harmonious fusion of classic and contemporary. The choice of walnut as the medium adds depth and warmth to the sculpture, enhancing the tactile and visual experience of the observer. The natural grain of the wood becomes an integral part of the composition, creating a sense of organic unity with the subject. The sculptor also paid close attention to the complexity of the drapery, which melts into gentle folds, revealing the artist's mastery in capturing the play of light and shadow. The sculpture is in original condition with signs of use and age and a small loss on the base, all visible in the photos.
