This statuette is a faithful reproduction of the ombra della sera, a hallmark of etruscan art from the 3rd century bce, originally cast in volterra, italy, and preserved at the museo guarnacci. The workshop bronze finish gives the piece a warm and authentic appearance. It is said that giacometti was inspired by these elongated forms for his own iconic sculptures.
