An exquisite antique bronze bust of a young beauty in the French Art Nouveau taste — hair swept up and garlanded, shoulders wrapped in tumbling roses, with a ribbon at her décolletage, all rendered with wonderful movement and a warm two-tone patina. Raised on a stepped onyx base.
The kind of romantic, sculptural figure that anchors a shelf, a vanity, or a gallery vignette. In the manner of the Continental bronziers working at the turn of the century.
