Catalogue Note

This ambitious group is an uncommon and sensual scene of three nymphs in languid poses on a rock. Gambogi relishes in the contrasting textures of the hard rock and the soft, supple skin of the nymphs. The vertical and upward swirling composition is a typical feature in Gambogi’s whimsical works.
