Final Considerations on the Item:
The sculpture's sculptural quality is remarkable; note the beauty of the face and headdress, the care taken in depicting the clothing, and its expressiveness. The marble base has two cracks at two corners, but it is antique. The sculpture was made in Italy, considering the subject depicted—a Roman Ciociara lady—but its style is also very similar to that of French artist Auguste Moreau, a renowned sculptor who often created similar figures in bronze, antimony, or regule. A beautiful item for art lovers and collectors, offered at an excellent price. See less
