Stylistically, it belongs to Art Deco, evident in the subtle stylization of features and the overall composition, which carries hints of both modernism and classical nobility. The portrait captures a young woman with a characteristic period hairstyle and a deep, contemplative expression, lending the sculpture a strong psychological charge and timeless aesthetics.

The material used is patinated plaster, which was highly popular during this era for its ability to faithfully capture even the finest details of sculptural modeling. The surface patina imitates noble metals or stone, adding depth and a historical character to the piece. The sculpture remains in its original condition, authentically attesting to its age and artistic integrity, while minor signs of age on the patina only enhance its collector's charm.

Due to its refined form and historical origin, this bust is an excellent statement piece for collectors of interwar art or as a luxury decorative detail for stylish interiors, libraries, or salons. It serves as a valuable record of the high standard of Czechoslovak figural creation from the interwar period.

In pristine original condition, the item has been professionally cleaned, and its polish has been revived by our refurbishing team in Czechia.
