Object History

From the collection of Teresa Nachman director of the Hoy en el Arte Galeria, Buenos Aires

This stunning 1930s bronze sculpture by Stepan Erzia captures the delicate yet powerful essence of youth through the exquisitely rendered face of a young woman. Known for his ability to infuse life and emotion into his sculptures, Erzia’s mastery of form is evident in the soft, expressive features and subtle texture of the bronze, which brings a sense of realism and depth to the piece.

The sculpture conveys a timeless beauty, with Erzia’s skilled craftsmanship highlighted in the smooth contours of the face and the careful attention to detail in the eyes, lips, and overall expression. The face seems to reflect a quiet strength and innocence, inviting contemplation and a deep emotional connection.

This piece, created during the 1930s, not only exemplifies Erzia’s remarkable technical abilities but also his ability to capture universal themes of youth and purity. The bronze patina further enhances the work’s depth, giving it an aged, yet enduring quality.

The piece is in good vintage condition; there are minor marks to the marble base.
