About the Item
A graceful alabaster sculpture from Volterra, Tuscany, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, depicting a young flower girl carrying a basket brimming with blossoms. The figure is rendered with softness and natural poise: her weight rests gently on one leg, her dress falls in quiet folds, and her expression is tender and thoughtful. The basket is finely carved, with layered petals that add texture and depth against the smooth surface of the figure. Volterra was renowned for its alabaster workshops during this period, and this piece reflects that tradition of subtle elegance and skilled handwork. The sculpture is in excellent overall condition, with a small finger missing, as shown in the photos—an age-related loss that does not detract from the sculpture’s presence or beauty. A poetic, timeless accent for a console, mantel, or niche, where it brings a sense of serenity and graceful, lived history.
