Standing Woman c. 1905

Pierre Bonnard's "Standing Woman" (c. 1905) is a bronze sculpture of a female figure standing on a rocky outcrop. Bonnard, a renowned French painter and printmaker, is known for his exploration of color and light in his artwork. The sculpture, though small in scale, captures the essence of the human form with a sense of dynamism and grace. The figure's pose, with her head bowed and her body slightly turned, suggests a moment of contemplation or introspection. The rough texture of the bronze surface adds to the sculpture's sense of realism and emphasizes the figure's connection to the natural world. This work is an example of Bonnard's foray into three-dimensional art, showcasing his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the beauty of the human figure.
