Modernist Bronze Nude, Female, Based

No head, no arms, and it keeps its balance anyway.

This modernist bronze nude, female, is mounted on a base and dates to the late 20th to 21st century. It is bronze. The partial figure, a form inspired by the broken statues of antiquity, became a subject in its own right for modern sculptors, who found that a torso alone could carry movement and weight. One leg stands, the other lifts and bends. The golden surface is pitted and rough throughout. A plain reddish wood block holds it up. Fifteen inches high and five wide.

The eye supplies the rest.
