About the Item
A French plaster head sculpted in the 1940s, created in a restrained yet expressive style characteristic of mid-20th-century figurative sculpture. The face, with its clean lines and closed eyes, conveys an impression of calm and introspection. The stylized treatment of the hair and the simplification of the volumes reinforce the overall modernist dimension.
The surface has a matte patina with traces of age, revealing the piece's authenticity and its potential use as a studio model or decorative sculpture. Mounted on an integrated cylindrical base, this plaster head possesses a strong sculptural presence, ideal for a library, studio, or artistically styled interior.

Vintage Italian Plaster of Paris Sculpt Head Bust Sculpture with Black Wood Base
Located in North Miami, FL
This wonderful restored Italian vintage aqualine plaster of Paris head bust sculpture is so reminiscent of what would be in a museum setting. She has beautiful surreal features with great detail to her very detailed back hair. She sits on a black wood base. Her face is so wonderfully sculpted to perfection of Italian classical beauty. From either the side or frontal view she is beautiful. Please note that we have just done some restorations and cleaning to the plaster of Paris and wood base as it had a crack in it. This is now reflected in the price alteration. It looks amazing now. This is from the 1960s. Sorry the old photos...
