This gorgeous bronze vase shows a woman laying in a relaxed mood holding a flowing sheet above his head as sweet flowers surround her. She reclines in the moons crescent and wears a star on her head. She is "Dusk", her long hair flows softly as the warm breeze bring the dawn in and makes the skies dark. Her privates are covered with a flowing robe which seems to wrap around her and the vase. The flowers have great intricate detail adding to the dimension of this sculpture. She has great proportion and her muscles are magnificent. This is the perfect gift to give to a flower lover. This sculpture was cast using the "Lost Wax Method" and is handmade. This sculpture is signed Moreau.
