Product Overview
The woman with an apple – bronze sculpture in the wind belongs to TYART’s figure collection: a woman holding an apple as her dress and hair sweep backward in the wind, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a polished golden finish. It is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The figure is built on one unbroken line from the base of the stance to the tilt of the head. Shoulders, waist and hips are softened into smooth transitions, and the surface is kept deliberately clean so the hand-applied patina does the modeling. From the side, the silhouette is a single calligraphic curve.
The patina is built up in layers and sealed, which means tone varies slightly from piece to piece — the mark of genuine hand finishing rather than a sprayed imitation. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, it holds its own without competing with the furniture around it, and it needs no more care than an occasional soft-cloth dusting.
Design Inspiration: The Abstracted Female Form
Modern Western sculpture has long turned to the female body reduced to its essential line — think of Brancusi’s smooth ovoids or the elongated figures of Art Deco figurines. This model continues that tradition in hollow-cast bronze: one continuous gesture, a few confident planes, and all anecdotal detail edited away. Because the form is abstract, it crosses markets easily; because the gesture is human, it never feels cold. Collectors read movement in the curve; designers read a clean vertical that styles easily on consoles and plinths.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
Casting begins with the original master model. A wax copy is coated in ceramic, fired, and replaced with molten bronze in the lost-wax method our foundry has used for years. The hollow-cast bronze is then fettled and finished by hand — seams removed, detail sharpened, surface evened — before the patina is built up in successive washes and sealed to protect the tone. Small variations between pieces are the signature of hand finishing, not a defect.
Because the forms are broad and smooth, the finishing focus shifts to surface quality: the casting is ground and refined until the planes run cleanly into one another, and the patina is layered in fine washes so the tone deepens gradually along the curve.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is an abstract figure suitable for a gift?
Yes — it is one of the safest choices. The form is human and warm, but without a specific story attached, so it suits different tastes, ages and interiors. It is often chosen for corporate awards and personal gifts alike.
2. Will the figure suit a modern minimalist room?
It is designed for exactly that. The simplified planes and clean silhouette sit comfortably against neutral materials, while the hand-applied patina adds the warmth that minimal rooms often need.
3. Can I order this piece in a different color?
Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.
4. 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.
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.
