Bronze Semi-Nude of a Female Bust by Paul Lundberg, Artist’s Proof No. 1 of 12

An evocative bronze sculpture by Paul Lundberg depicting a semi-nude female figure, modeled with an elegant balance of classical influence and distinctly modern stylization. The figure is shown with her head gently inclined and her hands gathered at her chest, holding the folds of a draped garment that falls from one shoulder and wraps around her arms and torso. Her composed expression and elongated proportions lend the sculpture a graceful, almost contemplative character.

Particularly striking is Lundberg’s treatment of the figure from every angle. The smooth modeling of the face, neck, shoulders, and exposed back contrasts beautifully with the deeply worked folds of the drapery, while a broad band encircling her hair gives the figure a classical quality. The warm brown patina catches the light across the raised surfaces, accentuating the contours of the bronze and the subtle details of the modeling.

The bust is raised on a substantial variegated brown marble pedestal with a contrasting dark marble foot, giving the sculpture both height and visual weight. Signed by the artist and designated Artist’s Proof, Number 1 of 12, this is the first artist’s proof from a very limited edition.
