MARBLE BUST
 
MARBLE BUST
A beautiful white marble bust of a young woman modeled by the 19th century Italian sculptor A. Cipriani. Exceptional detail in all aspects of the design including the braided hair, the Baroque patterned gown, the ruffled collar, the simple cross and the ornate border of flowers that edge the piece. Even the back detailed down to the corset lacing! A remarkable work. Inscribed: A. Cipriani/Firenze.
23"h x 20"w x 11"d
