Item description

In the 1930s, during a period of artistic revival, a remarkable Sicilian terracotta woman's head was created in Greco-Roman style, showing the fusion of ancient Greek and Roman artistic influences with Sicilian craftsmanship. The terracotta took on this particular colour due to its exposure to the natural elements, as it was placed outdoors, the head is meticulously sculpted with great attention to detail. The craftsman skilfully captures the nuances of the woman's facial features, creating a realistic representation with a serene and timeless beauty. The woman's facial expression exudes a sense of calm and contemplation, reflecting the stoic demeanour often associated with ancient Greek and Roman art. The almond-shaped eyes, delicately sculpted eyebrows and gently curved lips contribute to the sculpture's enigmatic charm. The Sicilian terracotta woman's head is a representation of Sicily's rich cultural heritage. The amalgam of Greek and Roman influences reflects the historical past of the island, where these ancient civilisations once thrived.
