Description

This decorative sculpture depicts a young girl standing with her arms gracefully outstretched while wearing a blindfold, a motif associated with innocence, playfulness, and carefree childhood. The figure is finished in a dark bronze-tone patina with a flowing dress featuring detailed floral embellishments, and is mounted on a polished green marble base that provides both stability and an elegant presentation. The overall styling draws inspiration from Art Deco and early 20th-century figural sculpture.

Blindfolded child figures became popular decorative subjects during the 1920s through the 1940s and have continued to be reproduced by European and American foundries into the late 20th century. While many originals were cast in spelter or bronze, later examples often feature cold-cast bronze or metal alloys with a bronze finish. This example offers the classic look of the period and serves as an attractive display piece for a mantel, bookshelf, or curio cabinet.
