myminifactory

Pietro Canonica, an Italian artist born in 1869 and passing away in 1959, was a skilled sculptor, painter, opera composer, arts professor, and lifetime senator. This piece, titled After the Vow, originally named Dopo il voto, showcases a young girl who has completed her vow and appears to be lost in thought, contemplating its potential consequences. The sculpture, crafted from marble, bronze, and stone in 1893, presents a striking visual representation of the subject's introspective state.
