About the Item

Important antique plaster bust with terracotta patina, representing Mademoiselle Luzy, famous 18th century actress and emblematic figure of the Comédie Française. This model is an edition after the original sculpture by Jean-Jacques Caffieri (1725-1792), great neoclassical sculptor known for his busts of great literary, theatrical and intellectual figures such as Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau. The bust bears the stamp of the city of Versailles, attesting to an institutional provenance and a quality old edition. The realization is distinguished by the quality of the modeling, the precision of the detail of the hairstyle and the elegance of the drapery typical of the neoclassical style.
