I found her at an auction, but who is she?

Hi All,

This is my first post. I'm so excited about this community!

I found this sculpture at an auction, and they gave absolutely no information on it. It's signed '81 Alva Lado.

My research has come up with Alva as the Alva Museum Replicas Inc. in New York. Lado Goudjabidze was the art director and production manager, and he signed this sculpture which is likely a replica of some famous priceless work of art.

So what is this work of art? Has anyone seen this statue in a museum, European square, or are familiar with the work? I have scoured the internet and can't find any piece like it. Other Alva Museum replica items can be found online, but this piece has no equal to be found...

Isn't she beautiful?

Wow, I checked worthpoint before but didn't find it. Thanks!

OK, so it sold for $19 on ebay 10 years ago. :-D. I still love it. But if anyone can tell me what it is a replica of, that would be truly amazing>. Cheers and thanks

I tried looking at pictures of the Trevi fountain, but can't see a similar sculpture. Thanks though...
