Retour de Plage is an original bronze sculpture by the artist Josepha, created in 2007. The work depicts a graceful female figure captured in an inverted, playful pose, evoking lightness, freedom, and the carefree atmosphere of a summer day by the sea. The composition combines movement and balance, characteristic of Josepha’s expressive figurative style.
Cast in bronze at the Venturi Foundry, the sculpture belongs to a limited edition of 30, individually numbered and signed by the artist. The present piece is numbered 20/30. Each sculpture is engraved with the edition number, the foundry stamp, and the artist’s signature, and is accompanied by its original Certificate of Authenticity.
The subtly textured surface and carefully applied patina enhance the sculptural depth and emphasize the elegance of the form. Retour de Plage functions as a refined decorative object as well as a collectible artwork, suitable for contemporary interiors and curated art collections. The work reflects French artistic sensibility, craftsmanship, and a poetic approach to the human figure.

About Designer
“The French sculptor celebrates the modern woman in her vibrant and seductive sculptures, with grace, lightness, and imagination.”
Josepha was born in 1950 in southwestern France and lives in the rural surroundings of Drôme.
Drawing on her background as a fashion designer, Josepha has preserved a deep desire to highlight the female body. In her sculptures, she explores the full breadth of this universe, creating works imbued with a special atmosphere of grace and lightness.
Josepha portrays women in all their splendor by emphasizing their femininity, sensuality, tenderness, and their exuberant or gentle nature. Her figures live, move, breathe, and have nothing in common with classical academic art. If one had to choose a patron for her, it would inevitably be Degas.
Her sculptures embody complete grace, absolute lightness, delicacy, and the beauty of a dancer’s body.
“I like to idealize. My work is a form of relaxation, and every new idea is born like a game, like a beautiful story.” — Josepha
