About the Item

20th Century French Terracotta Bust depicting a serenading figure holding a lute. This finely modeled sculpture captures a sense of lighthearted charm with its expressive features, ruffled collar, and whimsical details reminiscent of commedia dell’arte performers. The terracotta surface shows traces of soft patination, emphasizing the gentle folds of the costume and the serene expression of the musician. Likely intended as a decorative piece for an interior, it reflects early 20th-century French artisans’ fascination with theatrical and romantic subjects rendered in naturalistic form. The bust sits on a shaped wooden base, complementing the warm hue and tactile quality of the terracotta.
