" Bust Of A Woman In Marble - Italy (genoa?), Second Half Of The 17th Century"
This marble bust from the second half of the 17th century represents an elegant young woman, wrapped in a fine fabric which sensually reveals her left breast. This drapery is sculpted with remarkable realism, evoking folds and curves of almost palpable fluidity. The latter, in the same way as the elongated nose with the sharp edge of our model, its small mouth with fleshy lips or its sensual flesh, allows us to bring our sculpture closer to the Genoese School where some of the most important people gravitated at the time. big names in Italian sculpture like Antonio Parodi, Giacomo Antonio Ponsonelli and the Schiaffino brothers.
