French Parian Porcelain Bust of “Tanagra” after Emmanuel Villanis ca. 1890
About the Item
EMMANUEL VILLANIS
French, fl. 1880-1920
"Tanagra"
Parian porcelain bust over gilt bronze plinth raised on marble base over bronze plate signed in shoulder "E. Villanis" cast circa 1890
Item # 406WHW30Z
A gorgeous example of Emmanual Villanis's "Tanagra" cast in parian porcelain instead of bronze and metal alloys as is typically the case, the brilliant white ceramic is meant to mimic marble without the weight, expense and artistic control issues associated with Carrara marble. It is raised on a gilt bronze socle mounted to a green marble base finished on a bronze plate.
Measurements: 22 1/8" H x 12 1/4" W x 5 3/4" D; parian bust is 16 3/4" H without base
Condition Report:
Very fine condition. Trace grime in the texture and recesses of the parianware. Various chips and fillings to the marble. Marble with two tiny holes where a title plaque would originally identified the sculpture.
