About the Item

Gorgeous Sculpture “Woman blowing bubbles”, Bronze and marble, Art Nouveau, 1920 – Germany Refined antique solid bronze sculpture depicting a woman blowing bubbles. This piece is of German origin and dates from around 1920. Deco sculpture abounds in small, highly decorative pieces made with excellent materials. This beautiful woman is sitting on a grayish marble pedestal, which contrasts with the dark color of the bronze patina. At the bottom of this marble base there is a golden bronze border that adds more shine to the scene. The young woman, with her left hand, holds a vessel full of soapy water, and with her right hand she blows a bubble. This pomp is a pearl of another material and color. This contrast in colors is typical of Art Nouveau and Art Deco sculptures of the 20th century. Her skin appears soft and shiny, and together with her pose and posture it brings a feeling of tranquility. Her body is a polished bronze surface with refined shapes and hardly any ornamentation, reduced to the essential. This piece inspires peace, transporting the viewer to a world where beauty and time were valued and respected. The 1920s were years of luxury and beauty, aesthetics took precedence over functionality and the primary objective was the enjoyment of life surrounded by beauty and pleasure. A small gem, worthy of the most demanding collector, lover of beauty and refinement.
