About the Item
Museum quality sculpture of a serene possibly Saint Catherine of Siena.
This exquisite Italian alabaster bust, carved circa 1890 and set upon a dark, polished marble base, emanates a profound sense of serenity and spiritual introspection. The sculpture depicts a young woman with her eyes gently closed, her features softened by contemplation — a moment of silence captured in stone.
The composition and expression strongly evoke traditional representations of Saint Catherine of Siena, the revered 14th-century mystic, theologian, and Doctor of the Church. The delicate veil framing her face, the modest demeanor, and the subtle olive branch draped across her chest all speak to Catherine’s enduring legacy of humility, inner devotion, and peace.
Rendered in white alabaster, the craftsmanship is of exceptional quality — the veil flows with natural grace, and the facial features are modeled with lifelike precision. The green marble plinth offers a powerful visual contrast, grounding the ethereal figure in timeless dignity.
This bust is far more than decorative. It is a deeply moving piece — a quiet homage to faith, artistry, and the enduring human soul. Ideal for a private devotional space, a curated collection of religious or Italian sculpture, or as a singular statement of timeless grace.
