    Elegant carved wood bust of a woman dating from the Louis XIV period (late 17th - early 18th century). This decorative work depicts a young woman wearing a veil that falls gracefully over her shoulder, her face slightly tilted and imbued with softness. The careful drapery enhances the finesse of the modeling and lends a beautiful fluidity to the whole. The tall, slender base is adorned with sculpted motifs that reinforce the piece's balance and presence. The deep, warm, antique patina of the wood testifies to its age and adds to its authenticity. This bust is in keeping with the aesthetics of the Louis XIV era, a period marked by the grandeur and splendor of the arts, embodied by the works in the Louvre and especially the Château de Versailles. The taste of this period favored elegance, noble lines and idealized figures, which are fully reflected in this sculpture. A rare and refined decorative piece, it illustrates the refinement of Grand Siècle art and will enrich a collection or add a prestigious, historic touch to an interior.
