Bas-Relief Woman

Bas Relief Woman is Gaston Lachaise’s elegant homage to Isabel, his wife and life-long model. Here he presents his beloved as he saw her: a voluptuous earth mother overflowing with cosmic energy. Serenely confident and strong, she gracefully extends her left hand while balancing effortlessly on her toes. Lachaise refines the sinuous curves and proportions of his muse in this highly stylized bronze relief.
