La Bacchante 1909

"La Bacchante" is a bronze sculpture by French artist Charles Despiau, created in 1909. The sculpture portrays a nude female figure, seemingly lost in thought, with her head resting on her hand and her body draped over a rocky outcropping. Despiau, known for his simplified, elegant style, captured the essence of the female form with subtle curves and naturalism, a hallmark of Art Deco aesthetics. This piece is a prime example of the artist's exploration of human anatomy and form.
