This striking Bronze “Draped Woman” on Marble Base, signed “HH” (possibly the work of Finnish artist Helvi Hyvärinen), dates to the 1920s and exemplifies the Art Deco movement’s emphasis on stylized, fluid forms and the female figure. The sculpture captures a dynamic and graceful woman draped in flowing fabric, the texture of which adds depth and movement to the piece. Hyvärinen’s expertise in rendering both the human form and drapery is evident in the way the bronze gracefully accentuates the curves of the figure while maintaining a sense of elegance and restraint.
In nice vintage condition, this sculpture shows subtle signs of age that are typical of bronze works, contributing to its authentic antique appeal. The finish has retained a rich patina, further enhancing the drama and sophistication of the piece. The sculpture is mounted on a solid marble base that complements the bronze beautifully, adding weight and stability to the overall structure. This piece is a perfect representation of early 20th-century European sculpture, capturing the spirit of the time while remaining timeless in its execution.
Ideal for art collectors and those who appreciate early 20th-century sculpture, this “Draped Woman” piece stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of Helvi Hyvärinen. It would make an elegant addition to a private collection or a statement piece in a refined living space. 25h x 9w x 6.5d
