A wonderfully magnificent gold -plated bronze sculpture that represents a young woman who poses there in an upscale position with closed eyes. The sculpture sits on a stair -shaped throne with a double rectangular marble base. The dress that the noble lady wears is shown in a perfection which shadows and can represent a very nice depth. On her head she wears a natural crown.
This is a very rare and severe sculpture that is looking for the same in its rarity. The gilding looks beautiful and has an excellent noble color.
