I have reproduce the attitude of this woman in front of his window.
She has a heavy body.
She's not very young any more.
Her leather armchair is not placed vis-a-vis the window.
The window is very high.
She was thus turned to see what occurred outside.
Perhaps she has hear an unusual noise which distracted her ?
Perhaps she dream with the eyes open ?
Length : 49 cm, Height : 50,9 cm, Width : 20 cm.
In fact, I reduced the importance of the decor!
because this sculpture also contained "the building opposite"...
Here are some images of this disappeared version...
Workshop photo: I made a model of the window with polystyrene.
The woman stands too straight.
While I was building this sculpture, the idea developed.
I then imagined representing the building opposit
But not as an architectural façade, rather like a series of overtures in a false theatrical perspective…
And, to make it clear that these are not windows, I trimmed the berries like looks:
All the panels in each window are focused on this woman! In beam.
Then, to evoke his isolation in height, I considered detaching the floor from the building's ground.
The idea is there.
The rest is simply a matter of proportion, balance, and imbalance.lower, higher, thicker, thinner…

If the topic of the window were often treated in painting
(I think of Francisco Goya, Edouard Manet and, of course, Gustave Caillebotte)
it is quasi-non-existent in sculpture…
The representations of a naked woman in an armchair are very rare.
A bronze was carried out by Jules Dalou "Naked woman reading in an armchair" but without window…
Edgar Degas created a "Woman sitting in an armchair, wiping her left armpit".
It is a lost wax bronze very funny.
With "the invisible object", Alberto Giacometti has represented a naked woman, very stiff, sitting on an armchair (semi-chair, semi-armchair)…
