Late 19th Century Italian Carved White Marble Sculpture of Young Woman w/ Rabbit

Charming and finely carved Italian white marble figural sculpture , dating to the late 19th century, depicting a young woman reclining upon a naturalistically modeled rocky ground while engaging with an alert rabbit positioned before her. The composition is intimate and playful. The figure leans forward on her arms, her body arranged in a relaxed recumbent pose as she gazes toward the upright rabbit. Particular attention has been given to the softly modeled anatomy, delicately rendered facial features, swept-back hair, and subtle articulation of the hands and fingers. The rabbit provides a lively counterpoint, its raised ears and upright posture introducing movement and personality to the scene. Dimensions: Height: 9 in. Width: 18.25 in. Depth: 6.5 in.
