Marble sculpture by the important Italian artist Carlo Pittaluga, who worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Two life-size sculptures of Nymphs signed by the artist are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. (inv. nos. 1975.101.1 and 1975.101.2). Pittaluga was a master at sculpting marble to depict beautiful young women, as evidenced by the offered graceful subject of a woman/Nymph holding onto a stone depicted in a pose leaning with a pitcher toward a pond with water lilies indicated.
