Description

Sculpture in patinated bronze, bust of a laughing woman, after the famous sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), undisputed master of 18th-century portraiture.
This remarkable work captures with finesse and sensitivity the fleeting moment of a mischievous smile, in a posture that is both modest and expressive. The finely crafted drapery, the downcast gaze and the sensual lines of the anatomy testify to great technical and artistic mastery.
Mounted on a square, rotating base.
Signed on the back "Houdon sculpte".

France 19th c.
