19th Century Italian Neoclassical Plaster Bust of a Roman Woman

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This elegant 19th-century Italian Neoclassical bust captures the timeless beauty and grace of a Roman woman, rendered in plaster with exquisite attention to detail. The subject’s serene expression, delicately sculpted facial features, and elaborate braided hairstyle evoke the refined artistry of ancient Roman portraiture.

Draped in a classical gown with deeply carved folds, the bust reflects the sculptor’s mastery in replicating the fluidity of fabric. The intricately styled hair, with its twisted braids and gathered updo, suggests inspiration from imperial Roman fashion, often associated with noble or aristocratic figures.

Mounted on a later wooden base, this sculpture exhibits a warm patina and subtle surface texture, adding to its antique charm. A striking decorative statement, this bust would make a perfect addition to a collection of classical art, a sophisticated library, or a refined interior inspired by antiquity.
