This exceptional French Art Nouveau figure by T. Herlinger calls upon classical influences. This stunning work captures a languid beauty lounging against a noseless sphinx, a nod to both the neoclassical tradition in French art and to the Egyptian fascination that blossomed during Napoleon`s empire. Exquisitely crafted and intriguing, figures such as this are highly desirable with collectors, especially those in such wonderful detailed. This sculpture was crafted using the lost wax method. It rests on a black marble base.
