19th Century Bust of a Young Lady in White Marble by Flli Romanelli

About the Item

We present you with this exquisite large bust of a beautiful young lady with a large hat, carved in prestigious antique white statuary marble. A unique work of the highest quality and detail, rendering the subject's face, its clothes and especially the hat to appear as if made of lace which in turns contributes to a great visual impact. This bust was hand-sculpted in Italy and is a work of art belonging to the renowned Fratelli Romanelli sculpture workshop. About Fratelli Romanelli: Several generations of Romanelli sculptors have passed through the Florentine sculpture studio's doors: Pasquale Romanelli (1812-1887), his son Raffaello (1856-1928), followed by his son Romano, then Folco and currently brothers Raffaello and Vincenzo Romanelli. The atelier's beginnings trace back to Lorenzo Bartolini (Italian, 1777-1850) who lived in Paris as the Bonaparte family's official sculptor. After the downfall of Napoleon, he returns in Florence and has his first studio in via della Scala. Pasquale Romanelli would become his prized pupil and go on to begin the Romanellii family studio in Florence. T.

Young woman with jug, Carrara marble, signed Bonnal, early 20th century
Located in NICE, FR
Charming sculpture of a young woman carrying a jug, signed by Bonnal on the back and inspired by “Rebecca at the Well” by 19th-century Italian School artist Guglielmo Pugi. The sculpture in fine white Carrara marble, created between the end of the 19ᵉ century and the beginning of the 20ᵉ century, depicts a pensive, lascivious young woman dressed in the fashion of the turn of the century: she wears a turban from which escapes curls of hair and a bracelet characteristic of the period; the cut of her dress is also very elaborate for a simple peasant woman. The finely embroidered motifs on the dress and turban are further evidence of the sculptor's mastery. A delicate, feminine piece that will look great in a hallway or on a dressing table, and will make a lovely gift for an aesthete woman. Guglielmo Pugi lived in Florence, where he ran a sculpture workshop with his two sons. Their workshop, “Guglielmo Pugi e Figli”, was mainly dedicated to exports, particularly to the United States. Guglielmo Pugi's work, emblematic of the Art Nouveau style, is characterized by direct carving in alabaster and Carrara marble (often white or veined). Some of his sculptures are now housed in Volterra's Historical Alabaster Museum. Many of his works were shown at major international exhibitions, such as the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and the 1904 Exposition...
