Large Art Nouveau Bronze Lady Bust Sculpture by Georges Van der Straeten, Paris

About the Item

Finest workmanship bust with original and beautiful patina from an important Belgian sculptor 'George Van der Straeten.' This stunning bust depicts a beautiful young lady with a big ruffled collar. Her hair is up and she wears a headdress/scarf tied in a bow around her head. At the base is a flower and on the other side a bronze mask. She has a very happy expression on her face, it will brings a good vibe to the space it is in. This bronze is signed and numbered on the back and it is by George Van der Straeten, Belgium (1857- 1928). Height: 23.5 inches. Van Der Straeten, Georges (or Joris) Born in 1857, Ghent, Belgium. Studied law by day and sculpture by night, but his love of the art won over and he became a professional sculpture. By 1878 he had become one of Brussels most prolific sculptors. He moved to Paris on advice of his friend the renown painter, Jan Van Beers and became well known for his figures of clowns, pierrots, ragamuffins, circus performers, buxom peasant girls and seductive Parisian ladies. He also gained recognition for his portrait busts of contemporary notables and beautiful women. He had an uncanny skill at capturing facial expressions which clearly portrayed sadness or joy. Some of his female figures are very similar to Emmanuelle Villanis pieces. Again great value for money.
