This fine 19th century marble sculpture is the finest of its kind, all hand carved with the masterful depiction in marble of natural hair by precision chisel technique. Real hair is not perfectly symmetrical and the master artist created the effect of real hair which has different waves, curls, and weaves. There are no damages or repairs.
Note: This antique statue comes from an estate that had micro mosaic grand tour table with ebonized marble as well as sevres porcelain. Look at my other auctions featuring Bohemian glass Moser overlay and sterling silver opaline jewel box. I appreciate all your emails.
