Dalla Terra (“from the Earth”)

This is a beautiful small female figure study created by Avard T. Fairbanks in 1934 which recalls the Springtime theme with a human female figure arising from the Earth amid fronds of plants in the Art Deco style. 

She is in a vertical posture with one arm extended, the other folded.  A single plaster casting was recently discovered in long-term storage. 

It was recovered and restored.  A bronze casting can be made available for purchase.
