''Sophie'' is a notable sculpture created by the French artist Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891–1915), who was a pioneering figure in the development of modernist sculpture in the early 20th century. The work is a representation of Sophie Brzeska, the artist's companion and muse, with whom he shared a profound and complex relationship. The sculpture is emblematic of Gaudier-Brzeska's avant-garde approach to art, characterized by a bold simplification of forms and an embrace of direct carving, a technique that involves shaping the material without preparatory models, which was in contrast to the more traditional methods of sculpting.

Completed in the years leading up to World War I, ''Sophie'' reflects the influence of primitivism and the abstraction that was becoming prevalent in the art world at the time. Gaudier-Brzeska's work is often associated with Vorticism, a British art movement that drew upon Cubism and Futurism and emphasized the energy and dynamism of the modern world. ''Sophie'' captures the essence of the subject through geometric reduction and stylized features, stripping away the superfluous details to focus on the emotional and spiritual representation.

The sculpture is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical context. Gaudier-Brzeska's career was cut short when he was killed in combat during World War I, making works like ''Sophie'' a poignant reminder of the artist's potential and the impact of the war on the cultural landscape of Europe. Today, ''Sophie'' is considered an important piece in the oeuvre of Gaudier-Brzeska and is studied for its contribution to the development of modern sculpture and its reflection of the tumultuous era in which it was created. The work is held in various art collections and has been displayed in numerous exhibitions dedicated to the artist and the broader context of early 20th-century art movements.
