Presenting the famous masterpiece "Descending Night," masterfully designed by the renowned German sculptor Adolph A. This captivating sculpture depicts a beautiful naked angel in all her ethereal beauty. With a graceful tilt of the head, she delicately runs her fingers through her hair, which cascades down her back in gentle waves.

Every detail has been meticulously crafted, from the exquisite wings that extend behind her to the curved and feminine lines that define her form, celebrating the essence of femininity. A testament to its authenticity, this sculpture proudly bears the signature of AA Weinman. Originally designed as fountain figures for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, "Descending Night" and its complementary piece, "Rising Day," captivated the public with their timeless elegance.

One size measures approximately 24 inches in height, while the other measures approximately 57 inches.
