A graceful Art Nouveau bronze figure titled Modern Bather, signed by celebrated French sculptor Charles Chénier. Created around 1900, this elegant work captures the quiet poise of a woman dressed in a period bathing suit—a vision of modern femininity at the turn of the century.

Standing at an impressive 60cm tall, the figure is beautifully rendered in bronze with a rich, nuanced patina that enhances every curve and fold. Chénier, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was known for his sensitive interpretations of the female form and the refined naturalism that defined the Art Nouveau movement.
