About the Item

This Italian sculpture fits within the tradition of capturing feminine beauty in a romanticized manner, emphasizing elegance and emotional expression, it shows a woman in a serene or perhaps expressive posture, her head tilted back with her eyes closed. The details of her face and body reflect a sense of fluidity and grace, common in Art Nouveau pieces, which often celebrated beauty and sensuality. The texture of the plaster suggests a handcrafted and delicate quality, making this piece emblematic of the craftsmanship of the time. Art Nouveau was popular from the late 19th to early 20th centuries and is characterized by flowing lines, organic shapes, and an emphasis on natural forms like plants, flowers, and the human body. The bust is in original condition with signs of use and age visible on the photos.
