This set of two portrait busts "Mrs. M. S." by Józef Galica offers a compelling insight into mid-century Polish figurative sculpture. Galica, associated with the Zakopane School and a student of Xawery Dunikowski, selected both bronze and plaster to explore the contrasting tactile and visual qualities of each: the bronze bust reveals a deep, patinated finish with subtle, golden-brown highlights, while the plaster bust stands out in a cool, matte white, its pronounced modeling marks emphasizing the artist's hand. Both sculptures depict the same female subject with stylized, naturalistic features and especially expressive hair. Their proportionally elongated heads are set atop robust, geometric cubes of solid black oak, whose nearly ebony tone and discreet satin sheen amplify the dialogue between light and shadow, color and neutrality. The ensemble is preserved in excellent condition – the bronze shows a unified, natural patina, and the plaster retains its crisp form, with no visible cracks, chips, or repairs. The sculptures resonate with the spirit of postwar Polish modernism – a quiet presence echoing their exhibition in Warsaw's Zachęta Gallery in 1963. The bronze speaks in the language of shadow and enduring materiality, while the plaster offers restraint and luminosity, as if the two media converse about gesture and transience. Visible traces of the sculptor's tools in plaster and the fluid skin of bronze highlight the creative process, anchoring each piece in the narrative of the 1960s where handcrafted detail and form-finding were paramount. These busts naturally suit settings that
