A very rare French ceramic fountain basin by Rupert Carabin. Francois Rupert Carabin was considered one of the most brilliant sculptors working in wood of the Art Nouveau era. His work was a celebration of natural bodily forms, erotic postures, edging towards the dangerous and threatening psyche of the spirit. This composition depicts a woman or a nymph, who at first appears to be scrubbing blood from a large rock. After careful analysis, one can decipher the shape of a uterus on the top part of the fountain. The blood emanating from the uterus symbolizes femininity and in the context of this narrative, sexuality. This composition creates a complex, dynamic volume with very gentle contours.
