This powerful and emotive sculpture is a hand-carved stone depiction of a reclining female figure, rendered in a bold, voluptuous style with softened features and closed eyes. The sculpture is carved from a richly variegated pinkish-brown marble with natural veining and mottled tones that enhance the organic presence of the piece. The posture (arms drawn in, one leg bent over the other) exudes groundedness, self-containment, and serenity.
This piece is substantial in both weight and visual impact, likely intended for pedestal or floor display in an interior space. The abstracted anatomy and curvilinear form suggest influence from both modernist sculpture and ancient fertility iconography, evoking comparisons to works by artists like Fernando Botero or to Mesoamerican goddess figures.
