Standing Woman is a heroic bronze statue of a confident, robust nude woman by Gaston Lachaise that was modeled in 1928–1930 and first cast in bronze in 1933. Lachaise created the full-scale model for statue and cast it in plaster in 1928–1930; inscribed the plaster model with a copyright date in October 1932; and immediately sent it to Munich to be cast in bronze by Preissmann Bauer & Co., a foundry known for its inexpensive yet exceptionally fine bronze casting. The bronze was evidently cast in 1933 but not completed due to Lachaise's chronic failure to pay his foundry bills.
