B1978 - Gorgeous Antique French Plaster Bust, "A L'Etude", Girl At Study, Early 1900's

This is a gorgeous antique French plaster bust dating from the early 1900's. It is a very atmospheric piece and would be the perfect finishing touch in a vintage home.

The subject is an extremely pretty girl studying a  book of music. She has thick wavy hair, beautiful eyes, and cupid's bow lips. She is very contemplative of her studies and is resting her head on her hand. Her dress gently slips off her shoulder.

She is beautifully painted in wonderful colour and detail. Her dress is a sublime shade of green. She has a gentle rosy glow to her cheeks and her lips and eyes have an almost doll like quality.

The  plaster plinth has a metal plaque to the front with the title 'A L' ÉTUDE' and the back is engraved with 'FRANCE' and has the makers stamp.

The bust is in very good antique condition, please see photos.

She measures :- 31.5 cm (12.4 inches) high x 21 cm (8.25 inches) wide x 20 cm (8 inches) deep.

This is a beautiful bust to add an authentic antique French finishing touch and another divine brocante find from La Belle Étoffe!
