The bronze has very nice detail and was skillfully sculptured at the beginning of the Art Deco movement in 1915. The sculpture shows nice detail and excellent composition. It measures 8-1/4 inches high including its 3/4 inch marble base. The base is 3 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The bronze alone not including the base measures 7-3/4 inches tall. This is an interesting sculpture we have not seen one by this artist before nor have we seen one of a similar subject. It has a religious connotation she is wearing a badge with a cross on it.The cup she is holding for donation also has a cross on it. The bronze is in excellent condition with some rubbing to the patina commensurate with age and handling. Guaranteed to please as are all our items.
