Pair Of Bas-reliefs In White Terracotta, Monogrammed And Dated 1869 And 1873

Low relief sculptures of a profile of young women, dated 1869 and 1873 respectively. Each signed with the same monogram CHR or CHA Regarding the low relief dated 1869, I am convinced that it is about Marie D'Agoult, writer and wife of Franz Lizt, recognizable by her hooked nose, her braids on her ears and her mantilla on her head. Numerous representations, both photos and paintings support this hypothesis. As for the other (1873), research will be necessary to identify this young woman certainly belonging to the same literary circle. Presented in an oval frame of LXVI style in wood and gilded stucco in perfect condition French School of the XIXth It should be noted that one of the medallions is heavier than the other. The one dated 1869 is thicker This type of medallion is rare on the market
