    Large brown patina bronze sculpture by artist Charles-Auguste LeBourg depicting Nycia emerging from the Bath. The antique-style young woman is partially draped, holding a cloth around her waist, revealing her curves. Her curly hair is held back by a ribbon and she wears a large necklace. Her face, of rare beauty, is slightly lowered. In mythology, Nycia or Nyssia, Queen of Lydia and wife of King Candaule, had him murdered in revenge. The work is signed by the artist and inscribed "NYCIA" on the base. The delicate details and graceful posture of the figure capture a timeless elegance, typical of LeBourg's Romantic style.
    Charles-Auguste Le Bourg (1829-1906) A sculptor born in Nantes in 1829, Charles-Auguste Lebourg was a pupil of two great artists: sculptor
    Amédée Ménard, professor at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, and François Rude, winner of the Prix de Rome.
    Exhibiting at the Salon as early as 1852, he distinguished himself in subsequent years, winning a medal in 1853 for
    "l'Enfant jouant avec un lézard" and an honorable mention at the 1855 Exposition Universelle.
    His talent earned him recognition from his peers, as well as a series of public commissions.
