This ceramic sculpture depicts an elegant female nude and is a signed work by the prominent Czechoslovak ceramicist Bohumil Kokrda. Dating from the mid-20th century, the piece stylistically represents the transition between Late Art Deco and the emerging Brussels style (Mid-Century Modern). The charming figure of a seated girl in deep contemplation is characterized by fluid, clean lines and the delicate stylization typical of Kokrda's work.
The sculpture is made of glazed ceramic, featuring a warm ivory glaze with a gentle semi-matt luster that emphasizes the precise modeling and the interplay of light and shadow on the figure's surface. The piece is in its original, perfectly preserved condition, without any damage or restoration, enhancing its collector's value. The artist's signature is clearly visible on the underside of the base.
This sculpture is not only a beautiful accessory for modern and retro interiors but also a valuable record of the high standard of Czechoslovak studio porcelain and ceramics from the post-war period. With its refined aesthetics and serene composition, it immediately captivates any art and design enthusiast.
