1. Description of the work :

This composite-material bust depicts a young woman with her face turned skyward, expressing a dreamy or contemplative posture. The soft lines of the sculpture, and the flowing hair blending into the base, evoke a harmony between the human and the natural. The green patina reinforces the dreamlike, timeless aspect of the work.

2. Artistic trends :

The work is part of the Symbolist movement with an Art Nouveau influence, notably in its organic forms and poetic expressiveness. The fluid style also evokes a certain kinship with the classical idealization of the female face.

3. References to equivalent works :

- La Nature se dévoilant à la Science by Louis-Ernest Barrias (1899).
- L'Âme de la France by Jean-Boucher (1918).
