Weight forward on left leg with right leg slightly elevated behind. She appears to be standing on the upper part of a curved 'wave' at the foot of which are two bronze fish. Set on a circular plinth. Additional Information: In Greek mythology, Nereus was the eldest son of Pontus and Gaea and father of the fifty Nereids, personifications of the smiling quiet sea. They are usually depicted as graceful maidens, lightly clad or naked, riding on tritons and dolphins. | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: David, Nathan | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6727... | Go to resource |
