This petite sculpture embodies the spirit of Belle Époque artistry, it portrays a female figure adorned with a laurel crown, symbolizing poetic inspiration.

Finely modeled facial features and flowing hair capture the essence of feminine grace characteristic of the period. Mounted on a modern acrylic base, the piece harmoniously blends classical motifs with contemporary presentation, serving as a decorative figure or as a seal. The artist's signature and creation date are inscribed on the side of the piece.

ABOUT THE SCULPTORE
Emmanuel Villdnis (French, 1858 – 1914) was born to Italian parents in France, in 1858. He moved with the family to Piedmont, Italy, in March 1861; after the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy.
Known in Italy as Villani, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Albertina in Turin from 1871 to 1880 alongside master-sculptor Odoardo Tabacchi. When Villanis graduated, he exhibited his first works in cities across Italy, notably his bust ‘Alda’ in Milan, in 1881.
Villanis returned to France in 1885, living and working in the Montmartre district of Paris and didn’t leave Montmartre until his death on August 28th 1914.
Villanis specialised in female bronze busts...
