This elegant white marble bust, sculpted with skill, captures the grace and serenity of Juliette Récamier (1777-1849), the famous Salottiera and leading figure of the Parisian company of the Directory and the Consulate.
The work is a high quality replica of the famous original marble made by Joseph Chinard between 1805 and 1806, currently kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon.
The sculpture portrays the female figure in a pose of compote introspection.
The head, slightly inclined, and the lowered gaze give the work an aura of delicate modesty.
The details are sculpted with precision and sensitivity: the hairstyle, inspired by classical antiquity, is held by a draped band that intertwines between the curls, while the hands are elegantly crossed in the chest, tightening the flaps of a fine shawl that surrounds her shoulders.
The drapery of the garment, with its soft and sinuous folds, demonstrates a considerable sculptural skill, creating a play of lights and shadows that gives life and volume to marble.
The plinth base, simple and solid, guarantees stability and highlights the upper figure.
