Greek head in waxed ivory plaster

Waxed plaster head, life-size, it's rare. Its ivory lustrous patina is very rich in shades. This model has the particularity of being very contrasted in its sculpture. The hair is indeed very worked, in the depth with significant hollows and the face is on the contrary smooth and gives off softness. The face is halfway between realism and purification of forms, the style can recall that of the sculptures of françois pompon. It is a very beautiful piece of decoration. It is interesting to assign him an accessory (hat, bow tie...). Chic and elegant. The head can be presented standing or lying down as a sculpture fallen to the ground, like old ancient terrain. In very good condition. Width: 23 cm. Height: 33 cm.
