A Plaster Sculpture of an Infant Face

About the Item

A French plaster cherub head dating to circa 1900. This evocative sculpture captures the soft features and gentle expression of an infant in the classical style. The surface has a beautifully distressed patina. Likely one part of a larger architectural or decorative element. It's large, almost theatrical scale makes it a memorable -and playful- addition to contemporary decor.
