About the Item

Cast in finely textured plâtre (plaster) with the soft, porous surface of quarried stone, this mid-century French bust captures the serene idealism of a 4th-century BC Greek original. The gently inclined head, down-cast eyes, and tousled curls, lend the piece an air of quiet contemplation. The bust is mounted on an integral stepped pedestal, making it a perfect accent on a console, bookcase or mantel.
