Nu Feminino (Feminin Nude) is a work of Antonio Duarte (Portuguese Sculptor) placed in the Gulbenkian Gardens in Lisbon.
It´s a sculpture in Gabbro granite of a seated woman with the legs bent, one based horizontally and the other up. This leg supports his left arm that bends to the face while the head tilts toward the floor and she seems to gaze meditatively.
It´s a monolithic composition, because it does not seem hollow spaces between the members.
