About the Item

Finest workmanship bust with original and beautiful patina from an important Belgian sculptor 'George Van der Straeten.' This stunning bust depicts a beautiful young lady with a big ruffled collar. Her hair is up and she wears a headdress/scarf tied in a bow around her head. At the base is a flower and on the other side a bronze mask. She has a very happy expression on her face, it will brings a good vibe to the space it is in. This bronze is signed and numbered on the back and it is by George Van der Straeten, Belgium (1857- 1928). Height: 23.5 inches. Van Der Straeten, Georges (or Joris) Born in 1857, Ghent, Belgium. Studied law by day and sculpture by night, but his love of the art won over and he became a professional sculpture. By 1878 he had become one of Brussels most prolific sculptors. He moved to Paris on advice of his friend the renown painter, Jan Van Beers and became well known for his figures of clowns, pierrots, ragamuffins, circus performers, buxom peasant girls and seductive Parisian ladies. He also gained recognition for his portrait busts of contemporary notables and beautiful women. He had an uncanny skill at capturing facial expressions which clearly portrayed sadness or joy. Some of his female figures are very similar to Emmanuelle Villanis pieces. Again great value for money.

Rare Antique Austrian Bronze Jardinière with Country Girl Figure, Jugendstil Era
Located in Lisse, NL
Austrian Jugendstil bronze centerpiece with country girl figure, circa 1900. Step into the poetic world of late 19th-century Austria with this captivating bronze jardinière, an exquisite marriage of function and artistry. Sculpted in the romantic spirit of the Jugendstil movement, this rare piece features a serene country girl, clad in traditional dress, resting effortlessly against a broad, rounded vessel, her poised posture and delicate features immortalized in warm patinated bronze. The girl holds a pair of modest pails, subtly referencing the pastoral rhythms of daily life, while the vessel itself, with its softly aged surface and understated curves, echoes the organic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau period. Together, they form a visual narrative that celebrates simplicity, femininity, and timeless craftsmanship. This jardinière is more than decorative, it’s a statement piece. Whether placed on a grand console, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or displayed on a marble plinth, it invites conversation and admiration. A museum-quality object with both soul and presence, perfect for collectors of fine Viennese bronzes or aficionados of decorative arts from the turn of the century. This antique objet d’art...
