About the Item

We present a beautiful sculpture crafted from precious white Italian Carrara marble, the bust of a gentleman dating back to the 19th century. The sculpture displays exceptional artistic quality, with meticulous attention to facial features and proportions demonstrating a profound understanding of sculptural techniques. Although the work is unsigned, its craftsmanship is evident. This gentleman has a serious and thoughtful expression, suggesting he was an intellectual man. Particular attention is paid to the beard, which was a distinctive and popular feature for men in the 19th century, a symbol of virility and wisdom. Concerning its conservation, there are some signs and a patina consistent with age. Noteworthy is a restoration to the base (see photo details), which does not compromise its stability. This bust of a gentleman is a valuable sculpture for its quality of execution and its fascinating transport to times gone by. Don't miss the opportunity to own this captivating work of art, which promises to be a conversation starter and a treasured centerpiece for your art collection.
