"The Bather With Lotus - Royal Dux Bohemia, Art Nouveau Period"
This elegant sculpture, titled The Bather with Lotus, is an exceptional Art Nouveau piece created by the renowned Royal Dux Bohemia manufactory. Founded in 1853 in Dux, Bohemia (now Duchcov, Czech Republic), the factory was acquired in 1860 by Eduard Eichler, who specialized in producing terracotta and majolica wares.This piece beautifully exemplifies the fluid and organic aesthetic of Art Nouveau, featuring a graceful woman seated near a lotus, a symbol of purity and rebirth. Royal Dux became famous for its high-quality creations, gaining recognition at the 1878 Paris Exposition, where Eichler was awarded a silver medal.
