ABOUT PRODUCTID 5928
This marble bust of a young woman, hand-carved from warm, creamy stone, embodies Italian Art Nouveau from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The harmonious proportions—a slender neck, softly modeled shoulders—emphasize the delicacy of the figure, while the gentle facial features are framed by flowing, wavy hair adorned with two intricately carved flowers. The base transitions seamlessly into rich botanical decoration, with stylized leaves integrated according to the naturalistic aesthetics of the era. The marble surface is gently polished, presenting a satin sheen with subtle translucency and depth, characteristic of high-quality stone. Finish details vary in texture—smooth areas on the face and shoulders contrast with the pronounced, ornamental base. Signs of age are visible: minor chips, surface scratches, and a distinct repair line at the base, indicating previous restoration. The overall condition is good, with all key decorative elements original and well preserved. Within this sculpture resonates a gentle nostalgia of the Italian belle époque—as if the stone figure itself recounts a story of romanticism and fascination with nature, hallmarks of the early 20th century. The flowing hair and floral ornaments are not mere embellishments; they speak in the language of Art Nouveau, where every motif becomes an organic extension of form. The marble, softly polished and subtly worn by time, appears as supple as fabric, while the serene facial expression infuses the piece with a sense of contemplation and tenderness. This bust can be displayed on a low, dark wood console or among a collection of books and ceramics, where the natural warmth of the marble will add depth to the setting. It would suit a classic living room with Art Nouveau elements, or in eclectic collectors’ spaces where Secessionist details meet modern accents
