Female Figure in Flenite 1913

Jacob Epstein's "Female Figure in Flenite" is a 1913 sculpture that embodies the artist's exploration of form and expression. This piece, carved from a dark green stone, depicts a female figure in a contemplative pose, head bowed and limbs folded, suggesting introspective thought or sorrow. The simplified, stylized form and the rough, unfinished surface of the sculpture are characteristic of Epstein's early work, influenced by the aesthetic principles of early 20th-century modernism.
