An Art Nouveau Plaster Italian Sculpture of a Woman
About the Item
This Italian sculpture fits within the tradition of capturing feminine beauty in a romanticized manner, emphasizing elegance and emotional expression, it shows a woman in a serene or perhaps expressive posture, her head tilted back with her eyes closed. The details of her face and body reflect a sense of fluidity and grace, common in Art Nouveau pieces, which often celebrated beauty and sensuality. The texture of the plaster suggests a handcrafted and delicate quality, making this piece emblematic of the craftsmanship of the time. Art Nouveau was popular from the late 19th to early 20th centuries and is characterized by flowing lines, organic shapes, and an emphasis on natural forms like plants, flowers, and the human body. The bust is in original condition with signs of use and age visible on the photos.

Neo Classical Plaster Italian Sculpture of a Hand
Located in Catania, Sicilia
This is a Neoclassical Revival Italian plaster sculpture depicting a realistically rendered hand, signed and dated Rome, 25 Agosto 1857. The piece is a fine example of mid-19th century academic craftsmanship, capturing the elegance and anatomical precision characteristic of the Neoclassical style, which was heavily influenced by ancient Roman and Greek art.
The hand is sculpted with incredible attention to detail from the gentle curvature of the fingers to the subtle articulation of the knuckles and fingernails. The plaster surface has a softly textured, matte finish, evoking the look of marble and lending the piece a timeless, classical feel.
This sculpture was intended as a study model or academic cast, often used in art schools or ateliers of the time to teach drawing and sculpting from classical forms. The handwritten inscription of the date and location adds a personal and historical touch, anchoring it to a specific moment in 19th-century Rome —a hub of Neoclassical art and study during that period.
It’s both a decorative object and a historical artifact, perfect for collectors of classical art, academic studies, or antique plaster casts.
