Terracotta bust with a bronze patina of antique inspiration, signed.

Male bust in terracotta with a bronze patina, inspired by antiquity, with a strong sculptural character. This piece evokes Greco-Roman portraits through the nobility of its features, stylised hair, and a calm, introspective expression. The modelling is deliberately free and expressive: tool marks remain visible, adding depth of material and a subtle vibration of light. The bronze patina, nuanced and warm, enhances the timeless aspect of the sculpture while retaining the sensitivity inherent to terracotta. Signed on the base (see photo), this bust fits within a modern classicism, typical of 20th-century European sculpture, straddling the line between ancient heritage and a humanistic approach.
