About the Item
Rare and fascinating carved wooden female bust, probably used as a wig holder. The work, made in Holland in the first half of the 17th century, features an elegant stylization of facial features, with refined features and a surface polished by time. The bust has a rich, lived-in patina that testifies to its antiquity and historical appeal.
Presented in 1969 at the 6th Florence International Market Exhibition, this piece is an important testimony to the craft tradition of the period. The sculpture maintains an understated and solemn appearance, enhanced by careful details in the carving of the neck and clothing, which lend depth and realism to the figure.
Perfect for collectors of antique art objects, sophisticated interior design, or enthusiasts of unique historical artifacts.
