Terracotta nude female statue – Signed N. Hottot, 20th century

Statue depicting a crouching female nude in an intimate and contemplative posture. The kneeling figure appears to raise her hand to her hair in a delicate gesture, with her face slightly lifted and her gaze turned toward the sky. Executed in terracotta, this sculpture is distinguished by its restrained and naturalistic modeling, characteristic of 20th-century decorative production. Signed N. Hottot. Terracotta work, 20th century.
