A detailed marble sculpture by Chauncey Bradley Ives, titled “Undine Rising from the Fountain” (1882), captures the moment a woman named Undine ascends from the water to receive her immortal soul.
The figure is elegantly proportioned, with her draped fabric carved to appear wet, clinging naturally to her form.
She lifts the cloth above her head, and at the point where it falls across her, the marble is sculpted so finely that light passes through, creating a translucent effect.
