DescriptionFigure of a woman in a long skirt flowing out to form a base. She is nude from the waist up. Her long flowing hair covers most of her upper arms and forms a place for the light fixtures-one on each arm. She has a band around her hair into which are tucked roses.Published ReferencesAlastair Duncan, ART NOUVEAU AND ART DECO LIGHTING, (Simon & Schuster: New York, 1978), p. 76.
