Standing beauty. China, 20th century.Coral.Wooden base.Weight: 142 gr (without base).Measurements: 11 x 10.5 x 3.5 cm (without base); 15 x 9.5 x 6.5 cm (with base)Entirely made in coral, the carving in question is characterized by its exuberant beauty. The young protagonist, a delicate lady holding a fish in her right hand, covers her body with a voluptuous vegetal interlacing of marked organicity. On a technical level, the virtuosity of the carving stands out, worked on several planes, with an allusion to clouds, parallel waves that represent the waves of the sea, etc. The decoration of the face shows a special difficulty on the front, where it has been worked with the same meticulousness.
