Santini in the mid-20th century, Italy, exemplifying the Neoclassical revival style for which the atelier is celebrated. The sculpture depicts an idealized Roman woman, rendered with serene expression and harmonious proportions inspired by ancient Greco-Roman portraiture.

The figure’s softly modeled facial features, gently turned head, and carefully carved hair gathered beneath a classical headdress convey elegance and restraint. The smooth, pale surface of the sculpture enhances the purity of form, while subtle detailing in the hair and facial structure reflects the workshop’s skilled craftsmanship.

The bust is mounted on a contrasting polished dark marble base with gold veining, adding visual weight and refinement, and making the piece well suited for display on a console, bookshelf, or desk. Elegant and timeless, this sculpture works beautifully in traditional, Neoclassical, and curated interior settings.
