About the Item

Elegant carved wooden female bust dating from the Louis XIV period (late 17th – early 18th century). This decorative work depicts a young woman wearing a veil that falls gracefully over her shoulder, her face slightly inclined and imbued with softness. The carefully crafted drapery highlights the finesse of the modeling and brings a beautiful fluidity to the whole. The tall, slender base is adorned with carved motifs that reinforce the balance and presence of the piece. The deep, warm, antique patina of the wood testifies to its age and adds to its authenticity. This bust is part of the aesthetic of the Louis XIV period, a period marked by the grandeur and splendor of the arts, embodied by the works of the Louvre and especially the Palace of Versailles. The taste of this period favored elegance, noble lines, and the enhancement of idealized figures, which are fully reflected in this sculpture. A rare and refined decorative piece, which illustrates the refinement of Grand Siècle art and which will enrich a collection or give a historic and prestigious touch to any interior.
