Description :
Elegant modernist figural sculpture depicting a standing female flute player, rendered in a slender, elongated form with textured dress and warm bronze-tone finish. Mounted on a substantial square black base. The stylized proportions, abstracted facial features, and textured surface give the piece a distinctive mid-century/modern decorative character. No visible maker’s signature or identifying mark is apparent in the provided photos, so I would list the material conservatively as bronze-tone metal rather than attributing it as solid bronze. Approx. Measurements: 10–14" H overall x 4–5" W at base Condition: Good vintage condition with surface patina, oxidation, finish variation, and light wear consistent with age. Base shows some underside residue/wear. Please review photos for condition and finish details. Historical Note: Elongated musician figures became popular decorative sculptures during the mid-20th century, particularly in modernist and postwar interiors. Flutists, violinists, dancers, and jazz musicians were frequently represented with simplified forms and heavily textured metal surfaces. Without a signature or foundry mark, the specific maker and country of origin cannot be reliably attributed. Est. Value: $45–90
