Reclining Nude by Daphne Harris, Bronze, Signed and Numbered 3 of 12, 30cm high by 90cm wide by 40cm deep, sculpture

This piece by Daphne Harris is a graceful and intimate bronze sculpture, signed and numbered 3 of a limited edition of 12. Measuring 30 cm high, 90 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, this figurative work captures a serene moment of quiet confidence and ease.

The sculpture portrays a nude woman lying on her side, her body gently curved in a natural, relaxed pose. She leans slightly on her arms, propping herself up as she gazes forward with a soft, knowing smile. The posture suggests calm self-assurance, while the smile adds warmth and personality, this is not just a figure, but a presence.

Harris’s attention to anatomical detail is balanced with a subtle stylisation that keeps the work elegant rather than overly literal. The bronze finish adds depth and richness, with soft patina variations enhancing the contours and musculature. Light plays across the surface, highlighting both the form and the emotion behind it.

The composition invites close viewing, drawing attention to the delicate balance between strength and softness. Whether placed indoors on a low plinth or in a garden setting, Reclining Nude brings a sense of timeless beauty and gentle charm. It is a celebration of the female form, confident, poised, and quietly joyful.
