‘L’Innocence’ by Chiparus*
Item Description
Delightful cold-painted bronze sculpture by Demetre Chiparus titled “L’Innocence” of a coy young girl standing with her fingers entwined in front of her. The pretty dress she is wearing leaves her shoulders uncovered and, with her lowered eyelids, her modest expression is captured perfectly.
This is a lovely original piece mounted on a pleasingly shaped onyx base. The condition is excellent, showing an aged patina and just a few small nibbles to the onyx. Dating c. 1925 and a little over 25 cm in height.
Also known by the title “Bedtime Girl”, a larger version of this sculpture was made in bronze and ivory.
