Late 19th Century Style Bronze Sculpture of a Young Girl titled 'The Wind'

This is a classical bronze figurative sculpture depicting a young barefoot woman or girl leaning forward against a perceived wind. The figure is cast in bronze with a rich, dark brown patina and warm golden undertones highlighted on the raised surfaces. The craftsmanship is evident in the dynamic drapery of her off-the-shoulder dress, which appears to blow backward, and the detailed rendering of her hair and facial features. She stands atop a tiered, circular base made of polished dark green serpentine or marble with white veining. The construction uses the lost-wax casting method, typical for such decorative bronze works. The figure's pose captures motion and modesty, with one hand clutching her chest and the other steadying her skirt. In terms of condition, the bronze appears well-maintained with a consistent patina, though there may be minor dust accumulation in the crevices and light surface abrasions consistent with age. There are no visible chips or cracks in the marble base. The style is reminiscent of the French Romantic or Academic period of the late 19th century, though it may be a high-quality mid-20th-century reproduction in that tradition. The anatomical precision and the fluid movement of the garments indicate a skilled hand in the original model's creation.
