This 19th-century caryatid sculpture, of Italian provenance, is finely hand-carved from solid walnut. Standing approximately 76 cm tall, 36 cm deep and 13 cm wide, the silhouette is vertically elongated and well-balanced. The surface reveals a matte, warm brown tone with subtle grain variations and a delicate patina suggesting age and authenticity. Visible tool marks accompany intricate, classical features: gently coiled hair, acanthus leaves, carefully rendered drapery, and a serene female visage, all unified in a vertical form reminiscent of an architectural bracket. The base is richly adorned with ornamental foliage motifs, echoing the neoclassical and Renaissance revival languages that defined 19th-century Italian woodcarving. Minor signs of use – small dents and inconspicuous holes to the top (likely from previous mounting) – highlight its historicity. The sculpture remains structurally stable, without significant repairs or damages, and retains its full artistic value. Condition is very good, with only light traces of time present. This sculpture resonates with the quiet expressiveness of a 19th-century Italian workshop, where classical knowledge and the spirit of craftsmanship went hand in hand. The interplay of shadows in the sculpted braids, the calm features, and the depth of carved drapery evoke the silent grandeur of
