Lady with Conch by Anon Unknown, Bronze, Edition Unknown, 185cm high by 50cm wide by 50cm deep, water feature

Lady with Conch is a bronze water feature sculpture, standing 185 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 50 cm deep. The piece depicts a nude woman holding a conch shell up to her ear, as if listening to the whisper of the sea. A large leaf discreetly shields her modesty, adding both elegance and a touch of playfulness to the composition.

The sculpture balances naturalism with stylized form. The figure’s posture conveys a gentle poise, with her raised arms drawing the viewer’s eye upward toward the conch. At her feet, a fish head emerges, linking the woman to the marine theme and hinting at a playful interaction between the figure and the natural world.

Water flows through the sculpture as part of its function as a fountain, enhancing its sense of life and movement. The bronze surface catches light beautifully, emphasizing the curves of the figure and the delicate textures of the leaf and shell.

Through Lady with Conch, the artist fuses sensuality, narrative, and nature. The piece invites contemplation, evoking the serene and mysterious connection between humans and the sea. Its vertical composition and flowing lines draw attention to the elegant relationship between figure, water, and environment. These features create a harmonious and dynamic sculpture that captures both visual and sensory interest.
