A Lacquered Wood Sicilian Bust of a Woman

About the Item

A lacquered wood bust that originates from Sicily, representing a stylized female figure. The bust is carved from wood and is finished with a lacquered painted surface, now worn with age. The woman has delicately carved features, arched eyebrows, defined nose, and slightly parted lipswhich give the figure a serene, contemplative expression. The paint loss gives a glimpse into the age and wear of the piece. The bust cuts off just below the shoulders, forming a stylized, almost geometric neckline. There’s minimal detailing on the chest, focusing attention on the face. The simplicity and elegance suggest this may have been a devotional or decorative piece. It shows characteristics of Sicilian religious art linked to traditional representations of saints or Madonnas. The piece shows signs of age, with visible wear on the surface, especially the head area. This patina adds to its antique charm.
