A captivating piece from the Art Deco period, it beautifully depicts a young woman in the midst of a discreet and elegant moment as she gets dressed at the beach.

Dressed in a modest yet stylish white swimsuit adorned with light blue dots, the figurine perfectly captures the essence of Art Deco fashion. Strobach's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the dynamic pose of the young woman — bent over with her head tilted to the side, as she hurriedly slips into her navy blue sundress with gold accents.

The scene is alive with anticipation, suggesting a sense of privacy and a touch of mystery as the young woman is portrayed on the lookout, ensuring her modesty is maintained. Her ensemble is complete with a white sun bonnet featuring a blue ribbon, elbow-length gloves, ankle socks, and stylish light blue shoes. Each element reflects not only the period fashion but also the sculptor's dedication to authenticity and refinement.

This vintage porcelain figurine not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a visual ode to the elegance and grace of the Art Deco aesthetic. The delicate rendering of details, from the pattern on the swimsuit to the subtle gold accents on the sundress, elevates the piece to a symbol of timeless beauty. See less
