This beautiful portrait bust is by the Belgian sculptor Georges van der Straeten.

The patinated bronze bust is set atop a veined marble cylindrical plinth, which is raised on a square marble base. The front of the bust features a patinated bronze tied ribbon, which drapes down in front of the plinth.
The back of the bust signed 'G. van der Straeten', is stamped with the foundry seal 'Societe des Bronzes de Paris', and is monogrammed 'CB 1031'.
