Figure of a woman with grapes, “The Grape Harvest.” Italian School. 19th century. Patinated bronze. This allegorical sculpture depicts a woman holding a bunch of grapes, a symbol of abundance and the wine cycle. The naturalistic treatment of the anatomy and the elegant movement of the body, draped in light fabrics that subtly reveal the forms, reflect the influence of 19th-century Italian academicism. The figure, with its vibrant expression, rests on a rocky base while a vine winds its way across her dress, integrating elements of the surrounding environment into the composition. The meticulous execution of the face and hands accentuates the overall delicacy, combining sensuality and classicism in an idealized image of the grape harvest. Dimensions: 54 × 21 × 10 cm.
