About the Artist:

*A bronze statue after the Nymph going in the bath or Bather by Etienne Maurice Falconet (1716-1791), the original marble is at the Louvre. Inspired by the Bather painted in 1724 by Francois Lemoyne, Falconet captures the moment just before the bath: naked, the young girl advances timidly her foot to feel the freshness of the water. The pure lines of her slender body, her downcast eyes, the graceful movement of the foot reveal the shyness and innocence of the bather. Marked on the base : “Baigneuse de Falconet”.
The Nymph was exhibited at the Salon of 1757, when Falconet was responsible for directing the sculpture at the Sevres Manufactory. She knew a great success and it was duplicated by Falconet himself and copied by many other sculptors.

Color Choices – We usually cast and finish many of our sculptures with what is referred as multi-color patina. Our bronze sculpture selection may also be customized in a number of fire-applied patinas, such as classic French Brown, Verdigris, Italian Green as well as Gold and other custom finish options. Bronze is a durable material that can withstand the test of time, making it a popular choice for sculptures that can last for centuries. All bronze statuary will develop a natural patina when left in nature’s elements. The aged patina on bronzes is often desired, but if not, can be prevented by care and cleaning of the bronze statue with a mild soap and water and by applying beeswax or other polish to prevent an aged patina from forming. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference. Free shipping on all statues.
