A very large and beautiful alabaster sculpture, executed with finesse and a keen eye for detail, by Emilio Fiaschi gracefully depicts a woman with an elegant bearing and harmonious features, resting on a balustrade in a comfortable, sensual, and highly sophisticated arched pose. She covers her smooth skin with flowing fabrics that ripple and cling to her body. Circa 1890
