"Head Of A Leonardesque Woman (circa 1920)"
Head of a Leonardesque womanCirca 1920
Plaster with a terracotta coloured finish
H. 40 cm
Unsigned
Some wear to the finish
Leonardesque head of a woman dating from the 1920s with a very distinct Renaissance haircut - curled at the sides and the back. The sfumato effect is not easy to achieve in sculpture as successfully as it is here, and the air of mystery around this woman and the play of light and shadow is superbly done.
