Small Art Nouveau Female Bust Sculpture

A sculptural Art Nouveau bust with that unmistakable turn-of-the-century romance—elongated neck, corseted bodice, and softly modeled features. The surface shows a warm, hand-applied polychrome finish with aged bronze and ochre tones that read beautifully in natural light. Her floral hair ornament and flowing bodice details feel straight out of a Parisian atelier. This piece has all the presence of a small sculpture while still styling effortlessly on a shelf or console.
