This exceptional French Art Nouveau bronze sculpture by T. Herlinger draws deeply from classical influences, merging neoclassical elegance with the mystique of ancient Egypt. The composition features a graceful female figure reclining languidly against a noseless sphinx, evoking the artistic fascination with antiquity that swept through France during the Napoleonic era. The contrast between her soft, flowing form and the enigmatic stone guardian creates a visually compelling and historically rich tableau.

With remarkable attention to detail, the sculpture captures the fluid beauty of the female form and the symbolic power of the sphinx. The folds of the drapery, the delicate posture, and the serene expression on the woman’s face showcase the artist’s skill and his embrace of Art Nouveau ideals. This work exemplifies the era’s love for myth, symbolism, and the integration of historical themes into decorative art.

Handcrafted using the time-honored lost wax casting method, this piece stands as a testament to traditional bronze artistry. The sculpture is mounted on a solid black marble base that adds contrast and elegance, elevating its presence in any room or collection. Signed by the artist, this exquisite piece is a rare and desirable find for serious collectors of fine Art Nouveau bronzes.
