Pomone drapée 1921

"Pomone drapée" is a bronze sculpture by Aristide Maillol, created in 1921. The piece depicts a standing female figure, a recurring motif in Maillol's work, known for its idealized, simplified form and a focus on the beauty of the human body. The sculpture is characterized by its graceful lines, smooth curves, and a sense of stillness. The figure's pose, with its arms outstretched and hands holding fruit, evokes a sense of serenity and connection to nature. Maillol's work often celebrated the female form and its connection to fertility and abundance, a theme exemplified in "Pomone drapée".
