Daphne c. 1910

"Daphne" is a bronze sculpture created by American sculptor Bessie Potter Vonnoh around 1910. The sculpture depicts a young woman, likely the Greek nymph Daphne, standing in a flowing robe. The subject, and the artist's depiction of the figure, evoke a sense of classical mythology and elegance. The green patina adds to the sculpture's timeless appeal, giving it a weathered and aged look, suggestive of an antique artifact. This small-scale sculpture, measuring 28.58 × 7.62 × 8.89 cm, is a testament to Vonnoh's skill in capturing beauty and movement in bronze.
