This 1906 real photo postcard features the stunning “Woman With Bow” (The Goddess Artemis) by the acclaimed French sculptor Jules Desbois. Desbois, a student of the legendary Auguste Rodin, is celebrated for his ability to capture the human form with remarkable precision and grace. “Woman With Bow,” presented at the Salon of the National Society of Fine Arts in 1905, exemplifies his mastery of line and form. The sculpture, originally intended to hold a bow between the subject’s arms, is renowned for its purity and elegance.
This postcard offers a unique glimpse into Desbois’ artistic vision and the early 20th-century appreciation for fine sculpture. It is a rare find that beautifully encapsulates the timeless allure of classical art.
