Nymph in a Shell

The sculpture "Nymph in a Shell" in Lomonosov is an object of cultural heritage of federal significance and is part of the protected ensemble "Pergola with a Pier and Sculptures." The marble composition, presumably delivered to Oranienbaum in the 1860s, depicts a nude nymph, half-reclining on a large figured leaf and leaning on her right elbow. In 2020, the original underwent restoration, but for protection from the climate, it was replaced with a copy created by the "Nasledie" workshop in 2021–2022. The sculpture is installed on a limestone pedestal in the form of a three-step staircase, lined with white marble.
