Artist Mannequin - Lay Figure early 19th century ca.1800-1830
A finely wooden carved Artist Mannequin that displays refined modeling of the head and torso, with articulated limbs and a rich, lustrous surface developed through age and handling, intended as an artis's studio aid for the study of human form and movement.
Such early lay figures are increasingly scarce and are appreciated today both as tools of artistic practice and as compelling sculptural objects in their own right.
