Petite Gilt Bronze and Porcelain Bust of a Young Lady

About the Item

A lovely gilt bronze bust depicting an elegant young lady, with fashionable frilled bonnet, finely draped clothing and a serene expression. Mounted on a deep blue porcelain and bronze base, the Louis XVI style statuette (circa 1900) is inscribed on the reverse 'd'apres greuze (musee du louvre)', referring to the style of French painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725– 1805), whose series of 'innocent' portraits of adolescent girls and young women were widely imitated in sculpture. These paintings typically presented images of young girls from the neck up, and became his signature pieces, commonly known as the 'Greuze Girl'.
