Bronze Antique Art Nouveau Sculpture Young Woman with Bird, Signed Ple

An exquisite genuine bronze sculpture from the Art Nouveau period in the early 1900's depicts a young woman with a dove, signed "Henri Ple."

Her flowing drape is beautiful, and the chocolate brown patina is in very fine condition on this statue from France. The "rouge" marble base has minor flakes on the bottom edge, see photos.
