This is a beautiful original bronze sculpture titled "River Muse" by the renowned Northern California artist Laura La Forêt Lengyel (1946–2023). This piece exemplifies Lengyel’s signature style—blending fluid, organic human forms with the natural elements. The bronze features a deep, rich patina and is mounted on a heavy, polished banded onyx base.

Laura La Forêt Lengyel was a distinguished figure in the Mendocino and San Francisco art communities. She apprenticed under the legendary sculptor Spero Anargyros and was known for her mastery of the "Lost Wax" casting process. Her works are celebrated for their movement and emotional resonance, often featured in high-end galleries across the West Coast.
