ABOUT PRODUCTID 1650
This bronze figure of a woman, crafted by Karl Loder around 1900 in Steffisburg, Switzerland, is a quintessential example of Art Nouveau sculpture. The piece is made from finely chiselled bronze, originally gilded, now presenting a warm, golden-brown patina with gentle satin highlights on the raised surfaces. The slender female figure is depicted in a long, naturalistically rendered gown, her hair arranged in an early 20th-century updo, and captured in a contemplative pose—one hand resting on her hip, the other raised to her chin. The irregular, textured base evokes natural ground. Over time, only minor abrasions and a slightly uneven patina are visible, with no significant damage; the artist's signature confirms authenticity. The overall condition is very good, with the patina enhancing the sculpture’s historical character. Within this figure resonates the voice of turn-of-the-century Europe, when Art Nouveau drew inspiration from both nature and the feminine form. Every fold of the dress and gentle curve speaks to an era fascinated by movement, fluidity, and organic rhythm. Traces of age add dignity, while the thoughtful expression invites imagined stories of bygone salons, quiet conversations, and fleeting moments of introspection. The sculpture may be displayed on a wooden console, marble mantelpiece, or among other Art Nouveau pieces, where it will subtly complement the style of the space. It will harmonize with classic and eclectic interiors, in the company of Venetian glass, ornate mirrors, or soft textiles. Consider pairing it with objects featuring organic forms or with potted plants in ceramic vessels to highlight its naturalistic qualities and Art Nouveau heritage.
