Raoul François Larche (1860-1912), an art Nouveau terracotta sculptureLa Baigneuse (A Bather), c.1900, signed Raoul Larche, with raised foundry seal for Susse Fres Editeurs, ParisModelled as a naked woman reclining on a leaf strewn mound44.5 cm high, 79 cm long

There are some chips to the edge of the base, but nothing obtrusive, a group at the back and some on the side, but blends in because of the nature on the modelling and working. There is some dirt, occasional marks and rubbing to high points, but generally the figure presents well.
