Aristide Maillol “L’épine”, terracotta
I acquired this terracotta sculpture several years ago.
Maillol repeated the terracotta studies in the process of completing the final bronze work.
I consider this terracotta to be one of those studies.
The neck has been repaired, but the damage is not enough to ruin the atmosphere of the work.
There are some parts that are not well made, but the intention of the work is clear enough.
Above all, I like this nude sculpture because I can feel the warmth of the sculptor's hands.
