About the Item
Magnificent hand-carved marble bust depicting an African gentleman in traditional attire and a detailed headdress. The work stands out for its use of two-tone marble, with a contrast between the polished dark marble face and the pink marble garment and base.
The serene and dignified expression of the figure, along with the quality of the carving and the realistic modeling, suggest a work from the 19th century, possibly within the European Orientalist or colonial context, where such portraits had a strong decorative and symbolic value.
Ideal as an accent piece in classic or eclectic interiors or collections of historical sculpture, this bust possesses great presence and sophistication.
