This Neoclassical French sculpture from 1910 depicts a seated young maiden resting her chin on her hand beside a tilted water pitcher, all carved from white alabaster. The figure wears a head covering and draped robes, holding a small bowl in her hand while leaning against a rocky outcrop, mounted upon a rectangular honey-coloured marble plinth with block feet. The piece measures 52 cm high, 32 cm wide, and 21 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, the sculpture serves as a decorative focal point in traditional and contemporary interiors. The white alabaster and honey-coloured marble construction provides a classic aesthetic suitable for display in a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

Neoclassical alabaster sculptures gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly in Italy and France. Artisans carved these figures to emulate classical Greek and Roman allegorical themes, focusing on naturalistic human proportions, fluid drapery, and romanticised narrative poses.

These sculptures were carved primarily from white or cream gypsum alabaster or calcite, known for its soft consistency and translucency. Sculptors often set the white alabaster figures onto bases made of contrasting coloured marble or honey-veined stone to create structural stability and visual balance.

Authentic period pieces display fine hand-chiselling and rasping marks in less polished folds, natural colour variations, and subtle surface translucency when exposed to light. Furthermore, genuine alabaster exhibits minor natural veining and shows characteristic softness and mild edge wear compared to modern synthetic cast reproductions.

Position the sculpture on a dark timber sideboard, mantlepiece, or console table where ambient or directional lighting can illuminate its translucent properties. The natural white tone provides a striking contrast against contemporary moody paint palettes or exposed brick walls.

Clean the surface gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or artist brush to remove dust. Because alabaster is porous and slightly water-soluble, avoid using water, liquid detergents, or chemical solvents, which can dull the polish and dissolve the delicate stone surface.
