Delicate Terracotta Portrait with Light Patina by Louise Brongniart, after the model of the famous French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741 - 1828), currently kept at the Louvre Museum. This Work transcribes the great talent of this Portraitist, also nicknamed "The Sculptor of Lights". Subject turns head away, shoulders bare. His face, which is presented to us three-quarters face, is imbued with the curves of early childhood. Her hair is delicately pulled up in a bun, held back by a headband topped with a knot. The Artist knew how to give the girl's gaze a Thoughtful and Profound air. The Set rests on an Original Faux-Wood Base, bearing the inscription "Terracotta d'Art". The Signature of the Master is affixed above, on the back base of the Bust. You will be touched by the Freshness and Innocence emanating from this Elegant Bust with its Precise and Alive rendering.
