This is a relief cast metal decorative plate featuring a nude woman as its motif. Within the form, which curves like the petals of a lily, a supple nude woman is sculpted in relief, lying down. The softness of the female figure contrasts with the weight of the metal, creating a masterpiece that evokes a sense of serene beauty. Simply displaying it will tighten up the space as an art piece.

About the Statue of Count Matsudaira Yorinaga (by Yuzo Fujikawa) • Production year: 1934 (Showa 9) • Artist: Yuzo Fujikawa (1883-1938) — A pioneer of modern Japanese sculpture • Location: Ritsurin Garden, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture • Overview: A cast statue erected in memory of Yorinaga Matsudaira, the last feudal lord of the former Takamatsu domain, who was also a count and politician. However, the statue itself was lost due to the metal being requisitioned during World War II. Currently, only the pedestal of the "Statue of Count Matsudaira" from that time remains near Kotoden Okamoto Station, with the nameplate and foundation still present, allowing us to reminisce about its former appearance. #List of Artworks for Sale
