Refined alabaster bust depicting a young woman of noble elegance. The work stands out for the extraordinary delicacy of the face, characterized by a serene and dreamy expression, typical of the Romantic and Liberty taste of the time.
The attention to detail is masterful: the complex hairstyle moved by wispy curls is adorned with large silk ribbons (flakes), rendered with such realism that the lightness of the fabric is perceived. The treatment of the robe, with dense and delicate folds on the shoulders, highlights the sculptor's technical skill in transforming the hardness of the alabaster into soft and almost translucent surfaces. The work rests on a rectangular base in dark marble, which creates a chromatic contrast aimed at enhancing the purity of the white sculpture.
