Product Overview
Lady Playing the Guqin – Blue Robe Bronze Sculpture is a hollow-cast bronze figure sculpture with a deep blue patina. The subject — a lady in a flowing blue robe leaning over her guqin — is drawn with clean sculptural planes rather than surface fuss, so the piece reads clearly from across the room and keeps rewarding detail up close. At 600 × 180 × 1050 mm, it is designed for lobby floors and large entrance surfaces.
The instrument is modeled with enough detail to read instantly — bow arm, fingerboard or flute angle — but without busy surface carving, so the sculpture stays smooth and modern. The tall rectangular base keeps the composition architectural.
Because every surface is patinated by hand before sealing, the finish has depth: brighter where the forms rise, deeper in the hollows. Placed on lobby floors and large entrance surfaces, the sculpture reads as a lived-in bronze object rather than a plated ornament, and it keeps its tone with nothing more than routine dusting.
Design Inspiration: The Lady Musician in Blue
On the Chinese side, the lady playing an instrument is a core subject of 仕女图 painting: the guqin, the erhu and the dizi flute each carry their own literary history, and the player’s posture — leaning in, listening — is the picture of cultivated leisure. Placed in a study, tea room or entrance, the sculpture brings that same mood: learning, patience and harmony in the home.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
Every sculpture is hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method: a wax model is taken from the original master, encased in a ceramic shell, burnt out and replaced with molten bronze. The raw casting is cleaned, welded and refined entirely by hand before the patina is applied layer by layer and sealed. Because the patina is finished by hand, each piece varies slightly in tone and depth — a mark of genuine cast bronze rather than a sprayed imitation.
The robe’s blue is layered by hand over the bronze — a multi-wash patina that keeps depth in the folds — while the instrument is finished in a warmer bronze tone so it reads as a separate, treasured object.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which instruments are available in this blue-robe series?
The series includes the erhu, the guqin and flute players, each a separate model with its own pose. Contact us for photos of the full series to choose the instruments that fit your project.
2. Does the blue patina fade over time?
No. The color is a hand-applied chemical patina on bronze, sealed after finishing — it is not paint. Kept indoors and dusted normally, the tone holds for years of display.
3. Is each sculpture exactly the same?
The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.
4. What is the MOQ?
We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.
5. How is the sculpture packed for shipping?
Each piece is wrapped in protective foam and packed in a reinforced export carton; larger pieces travel in a foam-lined wooden crate. Wooden crates are standard for project shipments.
