About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century antique Italian Carrara marble bust is a beautifully sculpted portrait of a young girl, created by the renowned sculptor Pietro Canonica (1869–1959), whose masterful command of form and emotion earned him international acclaim throughout his prolific career. Rendered in fine Carrara marble, the sculpture captures the innocence and elegance of youth with remarkable sensitivity. The girl’s head is gently turned to the left, her delicate features framed by a carefully styled hairdo adorned with a bow. She is shown draped in a softly carved gown, her arms gracefully gathered around a bouquet of flowers held against her chest, exuding a quiet charm and naturalism that typifies Canonica’s portrait work. The artist’s signature is inscribed on the reverse, confirming its authenticity and origin. The marble has developed a soft, time-worn patina, adding to the bust's classical beauty and timeless appeal. In excellent antique condition, with only light wear consistent with age and gentle display, this piece is a rare and refined example of 19th-century Italian sculpture. Whether placed on a pedestal, mantel, or console, it is certain to be a focal point of admiration and conversation in any distinguished interior. It stand about 17 inches height by 17 inches diameter
