VICTORIAN FEMALE BUST ART NOUVEAU DECO BRONZE MARBLE SCULPTURE FIGURE

This bronze bust, crafted by the skilled French artisan Gerome, is an exquisite representation of a forlorn maiden. With meticulous attention to detail, Gerome has captured the essence of deep contemplation and melancholy in the young woman's expression. Her head is gracefully tilted to the side, partially veiled by a delicate head wrap that allows a few strands of her hair to cascade, drawing attention to the beauty of her face. Although only a glimpse of her garment is visible, the off-the-shoulder shape of her bodice suggests an attire of equal elegance and flow. The drapery of her scarf, hair, and exposed neck adds to the sculpture's graceful lines. This bronze masterpiece is cast using the revered lost wax method, an ancient technique that ensures the preservation of intricate details. The sculpture is tastefully displayed atop a black marble base, further enhancing its timeless appeal. Bearing the signature Gerome, this piece is not only a work of art but also a symbol of simplicity's profound beauty. Whether for your home or business, it is a captivating addition that will be cherished for generations, serving as a testament to Gerome's artistic mastery and skill.
