This exquisite 19th-century white Carrara marble sculpture depicts a gracefully draped young woman holding a pitcher, which rests on a fountain adorned with a face inspired by the iconic Bocca della Verità. This symbolic reference, visible on the pronaos of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome since 1632, gives the work a unique meaning and a direct connection to Italian history and tradition. Finely executed, the statue highlights the softness of the features, the fluidity of the drapery, and the delicacy of the gesture. The Carrara marble, renowned for its purity and luminosity, enhances the timeless charm of this piece. Ideal for enriching a neoclassical or romantic art collection, it also stands as a refined decorative work to bring character and elegance to a contemporary interior.
