The Art Nouveau bust entitled “Frinette” was sculpted by Emmanuel Villanis from a live model.
Villanis, a prolific sculptor, cherished his models and often used the same "femme" in his various works.
Realistically rendered in a strikingly seductive yet casual and innocent pose, she dons a large bonnet with ribbons and bows and is beautifully viewed from every angle. Her long flowing hair and hat depicted as blown by the wind appears architecturally sculpted.
The bronze is signed by the artist, E. Villanis, (1858-1914)
It is stamped with the foundry mark seal and is also stamped "Tiffany & Company".
Imported and sold by Tiffany & Co. at the turn of the century.
This sculpture of a girl shown with a hat is a very rare model. Tiffany only chose unique and specialized pieces for its flagship shops to sell to its discerning clientele.
