20th Century European Plaster Bust
About the Item
Sculpted in 20th-century Europe, this plaster bust portrays a senior man with meticulously crafted facial features—the arch of his bushy eyebrows, the downturned corners of his mouth, and deep wrinkles that trace the contours of his face—all conveying an expression of existential fatigue. The inscription, marked with the year '43,' coinciding with Europe's embrace of war, could hold the key to deciphering this poignant emotion. With winter clothing visible on the lower part of the bust, the distressed gilt patina resembles snow subtly covering the head and shoulders of the old man, infusing the sculpture with poetry and depth.
