This sculpture depicts a young woman with a delicate face and gentle expression, her hair styled in a crown braid typical of Neoclassical aesthetics. The face is particularly refined, with subtle rendering of features and volumes.

The bust rests on an integrated base carved from marble with highly decorative gray veining that contrasts with the purity of the white marble of the face. The young woman wears a draped garment tied at the front, rendered with exquisite folds.

The signature Pugi refers to the Florentine workshop of Guglielmo Pugi (1850-1915), a renowned Italian sculptor whose works were widely distributed at the end of the 19th century by the Fratelli Gilli factory in Florence, which specialized in high-quality decorative sculptures for export.

This highly decorative bust will find its perfect place on a bookcase, console table, pedestal, or in a cabinet of curiosities, in both classic and contemporary interiors.
