Wonderful 19th-century Italian Neoclassical style white marble sculpture of reclining River Nymph or Water Nymph (woman). The nymph is shown relaxed and serene resting on an urn from which water flows (representing a natural spring or river). Expertly carved with fine detailing throughout. In Greek and Roman myth, nymphs were female spirits of nature. This beautiful sculpted river nymph reclines in a pose made famous by the Roman marble river gods.
