Catalogue Note

Active in Florence between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Felli masterfully sculpted elegant female nudes in marble. The lithe body of the present figure demonstrates his understanding and passion for carving the female form, with delicate details such as flowers and transparent drapery added to emphasise her graceful attributes.
