Guglielmo Pugi (1850-1915) - Oriental Dancer

Alabaster sculpture: 62 cm (height)
Signed on the base

Italian sculptor Gugielmo Pugi lived in Florence, where he ran a sculpture workshop with his two sons, Gino and Fiorenzo. Called "Guglielmo Pugi e Figli", the workshop focused mainly on exports, particularly to the United States. Subsequently, the two brothers continued the business under the name "Fratelli G. e F. Pugi".

Our artwork bears witness to Guglielmo Pugi's artistic talent in capturing the beauty and dynamism of a moment frozen in time, while at the same time injecting a touch of mystery and exoticism through the depiction of an Oriental dancer.
