About the Item
Terracotta bust, portrait of young lady, Italy, Tuscany, second half of the 18th century.
The bust, entirely hand-molded, depicts a young woman with an intricate hairstyle wearing a medallion with the face of her beloved around her neck. The bust comes from a noble Sienese family, and represents one of the ancestors whose name can still be read in the inscription at the base of the bust, "Signiora Giulietta Bianchi." Originally, before the noble palace was put up for sale, the bust was placed with others in the gallery of family portraits.
Good condition, beautiful original patina, old restorations and minor signs of time.
