A Female Portrait in a Marble Bust

$2,900.00

21 1/4”W x 25”H x 9 1/2”D

This commanding bust is a captivating study in polychrome marble. The luminous white marble of the subject's delicate features and elaborate hairstyle is set against the richly toned base and draped fabric, creating a striking visual contrast. The artist's skill is evident in the intricate details of the carved roses, leaves, and what appears to be grape clusters that adorn the drapery—a testament to their ability to render delicate natural forms in a solid medium. This piece is in fantastic condition and is marked "V.M." by an unknown artist, adding an intriguing layer of mystery. The work invites viewers to contemplate the subject's inner life, the symbolic language embedded within the sculptural details, and the themes of beauty, nature, and abundance suggested by the floral motif.
