Sculpture by Lucien Lafaye, female face in molded glass, circa 1950.

About the Item

This piece strongly reminds us of Lucien Lafaye (1895–1976), although the sculpture bears no signature. It is made of molded glass and depicts a delicate female face. The entire piece is quite heavy. As for its condition, we note three internal impact marks on the back that do not go all the way through, one small chip with a slight loss of glass, and some minor nicks. Our photos allow you to appreciate the quality of the piece. For a detailed view of the condition, please examine the photos carefully. M3522
