Nude listening to a shell

Francis Derwent Wood, R.A. (1871-1926)

Bronze with green marble socle

34.5 cm high plus 3.2 cm socle

Collection privée (David Allan), Paris.

Signed “F. Derwent Wood”

David Allan suggests that this bronze and Gaia might relate to La Moqueuse, since all three statues apparently depict the same model.
