About the Item

Gorgeous and evocative bust of a young Vietnamese (or Laotian, depending on the source) woman with her hair up. Made in Vietnam around 1950 by renowned artist Nguyen Thanh Le. Made of bronze with ebonized finish and wooden base. A naturalistic representation is appreciated, but it tends towards schematism or abstraction, since it reduces some features to fine lines, as can be seen in the eyes or in the delicate hair carved on bronze. However, it also has elements that give it a very rich and decorative taste, such as the prominent earrings or the up-do pin. We see the artist's seal on the back of her neck. More about the artist. Nguyen Thanh Le (1919-2006) was a highly regarded modern and contemporary Vietnamese artist, known for his series of busts depicting women from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Nguyen Thanh Le generally conceived most of his sculptural works from his workshop located in Thu Dau Mot, near Saigon. These works would be sold directly from the artist's workshop. However, should the sculpture be sold by the foundry studio, the studio's stamp would be affixed to the base of the piece. After the Geneva Agreements (1954) that divided the country, it became very difficult to obtain bronze material for the sculptures. Eventually, Nguyen Thanh Le got into the habit of using metal found on battlefields. Nguyen Thanh Le's work has been presented at auction on numerous occasions, in houses as important as Christie's, reaching very outstanding prices. A very refined piece suitable in any corner. Total dimensions: 35 x 11 x 20 cm Base dimensions (cubic): 11 x 11 x 11 cm. Dimensions: bust: 23 x 14 x 20 cm.
