About the Item
An elegant 19th-century Italian marble bust, finely carved during the Grand Tour period. The sculpture portrays Louis XIV in period attire, with a sash draped across his chest and meticulously detailed curls cascading around his face. The artisan’s attention to anatomical precision and the delicate modeling of the drapery highlight the refined craftsmanship typical of Grand Tour souvenirs, sought after by European travelers of the era. Executed in pale marble with a warm, natural patina, this piece carries both historical significance and decorative presence. Ideal for a library, study, or gallery, this bust evokes the sophistication and neoclassical taste that defined 19th-century European collecting culture.
