Item description

These busts portray a child in a style reminiscent of 19th-century European portrait sculpture, an era that favored Neoclassicism and early Romantic movements. The workmanship shows particular attention to the details of the hairstyle, characterized by wavy and wavy locks that frame the face. The clothing is typical of the late Georgian or Victorian era, with an emphasis on the ruffled collar and "youthful" style buttons on the front of the garment. The black base, in stark contrast to the light color of the sculpture, was a common choice to enhance the luminosity of the material and impart a sense of formal elegance, often used for bronzes and alabaster works from domestic collections. The expression, composed but youthful, is characteristic of the sculptural portraits of the time, aimed at celebrating childhood with an almost adult dignity. dimensions 40 x 23 x 16 cm (H x W x D) SKU 422866
