Lifesize Female Figure is a unique, hand-carved stone sculpture standing 178cm tall. This elegant, classical nude sculpture portrays a graceful woman in a poised, timeless stance. Her posture is relaxed yet refined, exuding quiet confidence and beauty.

A softly carved drape rests on her shoulders, falling gently behind her back and framing her exposed front. This subtle gesture adds contrast, both in texture and emotion, between the smooth stone of her body and the flowing form of the fabric. The detailing is delicate, with attention given to the curves, proportions, and natural poise of the female form. The calming white of the carved stone adds a sense of purity and calm to her relaxed pose.

Although rooted in classical style, the figure feels contemporary in its simplicity and clarity. She is neither idealized nor abstracted, but instead celebrates a calm, honest sensuality. The stone’s natural tone enhances the sculpture’s serene quality, while its weight and scale give it undeniable presence.

Perfect as a commanding garden centrepiece, this sculpture offers both artistic mastery and emotional depth. It invites contemplation, admiration, and a lasting sense of grace.
