Standing 21 inches tall, this enchanting chalkware bust embodies the spirit of youth and the timeless allure of classic artistry. Crafted by Austin Productions in 1979, the piece features a young girl adorned with a sun hat, its brim lavishly trimmed with multicolor roses.
The bust draws inspiration from Auguste Rodin's terracotta work, "Jeune Fille au Chapeau Fleuri," which portrays his beloved common-law wife, Rose Beuret, in her youthful days. However, this rendition infuses the classic with a touch of modern vibrancy reminiscent of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s palette.
The girl’s hat and dress shimmer in a silken aqua blue, while her shirt and the roses burst forth in fuchsia pinks. Her skin radiates a warm, sun kissed brass hue, and her hair shimmers with a rich copper sheen, blending historical elegance with vivid contemporary charm, that harmonizes with many home design schemes.
Mounted on a sleek black-painted wooden base, it provides a striking contrast that enhances its visual appeal.
