Bronze sculpture – Bather with crabs on a marble base, style

Bronze sculpture/statue with a golden-brown patina, shaded with green in the recesses, depicting a bather in a textured one-piece swimsuit and swim cap. Slightly leaning forward, with hands together, she appears surprised by a crab clinging to her thigh. A second crab is at her feet. The sculpture rests on a black veined marble base with two steps. The beach theme, the costume, and the design of the base evoke Art Deco. Stylistic dating around 1920–1940. No signature or foundry mark noted. Height of the bronze is 39 cm. Total height with the base is 43 cm. Perfect condition of the bronze and marble.
