Terracotta Bust of Judith by Ricardo Aurilli, circa 1900
About the Item
Superb polychrome terracotta bust representing a woman from Antiquity with a proud gaze carrying a dagger.
Beautiful quality sculpture, whether at the level of the hairstyle, the face, the drape of the clothes and the dagger.
We find the inscription "Judith" at the base, and the signature "Rdo Aurilli" on the side.
The woman represented is Judith, a biblical character whose exploits are recounted in the "Book of Judith". The story goes that this young Jewish widow would have seduced and then beheaded General Holofernes to liberate her city which was besieged by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar.
Art Nouveau, circa 1900-1910.
