Small torso of woman

Gargallo made four other examples in terracotta, all of them repertoires.

In 1934, commissioned by a collector and with the collaboration of the scorer Mr. Fei, he carved a specimen in black marble, a unique piece, which differs because the ends of the legs have the same length and end in a regular cut.

As we previously indicated, the origin of this small torso is the retouched and modified figure of one of the Water Carriers, 1925, specifically the thin one, although the evident formal and conceptual changes turn this sculpture into a very suggestive representation of the female body. naked, whose notorious and contained sensuality differs greatly from the simple youthful vitality of its original reference.
