About the Item

Striking Art Deco terracotta bust, beautifully patinated in deep green tones, depicting a strong male portrait with a dynamic, expressive profile. The sculpture captures both vitality and elegance, characteristic of early 20th-century portrait busts. Mounted on a solid black marble base, the piece displays a powerful presence and refined craftsmanship. The work is signed to the reverse by J. Dommisse (Jean Dommisse, 1878–1955), a Belgian sculptor known for his portrait busts and expressive figurative works. Dommisse studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and exhibited widely during the first half of the 20th century. His works often reveal a sensitivity to natural form combined with a modern, stylized Art Deco influence. Dimensions: Width: 15.3 inches (39 cm) Depth: 6.7 inches (17 cm) Height: 14.2 inches (36 cm) Condition: The bust is in good overall condition, with light wear to the patina (see photos), consistent with age. A rare and impressive Art Deco sculpture, perfect for collectors of portrait busts and decorative arts. Free worldwide shipping.
