Standing Woman, Bronze sculpture in Tuileries Garden, France
Description
Standing Woman is a bronze sculpture in the Tuileries Garden that depicts an upright female figure with bold proportions. The work displays carefully rendered surface details throughout the bronze that give shape and presence to the form.
History
Gaston Lachaise created this work between 1928 and 1930, with the first bronze casting completed in 1933 at the Preissmann-Bauer foundry in Munich. This production history reflects the international collaboration involved in creating major artworks during this period.
