Bronze bust with a shaded brown patina, signed Emmanuel Villanis (1858-1914), titled "Saïda" on the pedestal, representing a gypsy woman.
French sculptor linked to the Art Nouveau movement, Villanis is known for his bronze sculptures where the traditional neo-classical style meets the elegant lines of Art Nouveau.
A prolific creator of busts throughout his career, his depictions of the female body are sensual and combined with nuanced patinas that highlight the fineness of the features.
Thought to be attractive, mysterious and daring, the Bohemian woman exerted a fascination on the artist who created several works materializing these free and seductive women.
Currently, Villanis chooses to represent "Saida" wearing a scarf tied on her wavy hair. With her head raised, she is recognizable by her proud attitude and her haughty bearing. A necklace that one imagines to be made of gold enhances her bare shoulders, which invite voluptuousness.
The delicate features and the beautiful golden patina of this sculpture make it a captivating work.
