Unique vintage sculpture of feminine body hand carved in Cuba island in ebony wood. It is stille possible to decipher the word Cuba on the authentification stamp on the base, as well as a signature, probably that of the artist. The nude female form, which is simplified, emphasizes the smooth contours and basic shapes of a woman. The wood needs to be polished and patinated for maximum beauty. Note how the artist skilfully exploited the wood veins of this beautiful piece of ebony. Unfortunately this exotic wood suffered from the dry temperature inside our homes that caused the wood to split. It is nevertheless a very stylish sculpture.
It is interesting to compare it to this woman torso found in the Smithsonian collection:
