Marmeren beeld van een vrouw met ontblote borsten en in haar hand een knuppel. c. 1878 - 1881

This marble sculpture, created by Louis-Emile Durandelle between 1878 and 1881, depicts a nude female figure holding a club. The statue, likely intended for decorative purposes, showcases the artist's skill in rendering the human form. Durandelle's work, notable for its realistic portrayal and attention to detail, reflects the artistic trends of the late 19th century. The sculpture's presence in the "Le Nouvel Opera de Paris" suggests its intended placement within a grand architectural setting.
