About the Item
Art Nouveau Carved Wood Portrait of a Russian Maiden with Kokoshnik Headdress, Attributed to Russian School, Circa Late 19th to Early 20th Century
Presenting an exquisite carved wood portrait, attributed to the Russian school, depicting an Art Nouveau maiden dressed in traditional Russian clothing, highlighted by a prominent kokoshnik headdress. The kokoshnik, known for its ornate and crescent-shaped design, is beautifully showcased in this sculpture, adding a regal and cultural dimension to this work.
This fine art sculpture features intricate details in the beauty's attire, including flowing draped garments and finely carved embellishments along the neckline and shoulders. The headdress itself is adorned with delicate patterns and pierced accents, reflecting the artistry associated with Russian cultural heritage. The rich patina of the wood further accentuates the depth of the carving, highlighting the texture and craftsmanship throughout the piece.
The sophisticated execution and attention to detail suggest it may be the work of a skilled Russian sculptor specializing in portraiture. This museum-quality artwork would make a striking addition to any fine art collection or interior space, offering a compelling representation of Russian cultural elegance and artistic mastery.
This carved wood portrait attributed to the Russian school was likely created for a patron of significant social standing or cultural importance. In late 19th to early 20th century Russia, such finely crafted sculptures were often commissioned for aristocratic families, wealthy merchants, or members of the imperial court. The kokoshnik headdress, a prominent feature in this piece, was traditionally worn by Russian noblewomen and brides, symbolizing wealth, status, and cultural pride.
It’s also possible that the sculpture was intended for an exhibition or as part of a decorative arts collection showcasing Russian heritage. Portraits like this may have served as commemorative pieces or as a display of familial lineage and cultural identity. The high level of detail and refined craftsmanship suggests it could have been a bespoke commission, potentially honoring a young woman from a distinguished family or representing an idealized figure of Russian femininity and tradition.
