I just managed to take at auction this beautiful
terra cotta female nude sculpture on eBay Austria. I was very excited about adding it to my collection since I have so few examples of good female nudes in the collection. It appears to be in excellent condition and will make a great addition to the collection. Years ago I ran across this sculpture in an Antiques shop in Amsterdam but passed it up because it was too bulky to carry back on the plane. I always kept it in the back of my mind and swore if I ever ran across another example I would buy it.
