Throughout the ages artists and craftsmen have made virtuoso carvings as a display of their skill and ingenuity. Although ivory, wood and stone are relatively easy to carve, other materials such as gemstones are much more demanding.
Most of these carvings were made for wealthy patrons and collectors, who delighted in the rarity of the material and quality of the carving. The seated figure was probably made as a model for reproduction in bronze. Four examples in bronze and two others in pearwood are known. This suggests that the subject, which probably symbolises Vanity,was popular with collectors in southern Germany. Object details Categories Sculpture. Carved pearwood, partly pigmented.
An elderly naked woman is seated on a bench made up of four rectangular columns resting on a base, her head slightly inclined to her left. Her arms are crossed beneath her breasts. The naturalism of the carving is notable: the veined skin, the clearly visible bones and ribs, the sagging breasts, and folds of skin in the abdominal area.
The lined face with its sunken chin and prominent forehead wears a sad and pensive expression. The figure is carved in the round from three pieces of wood. A joint above the knees indicates that both legs were made separately. The surface of the body and the hair is stained brown. The base consists of one piece to which a semi-circular element is attached at the front.
