Terracotta bust of Artemis

This piece is a sculptural bust in painted terracotta, representing the goddess Artemis in a classical style. The sculpture captures the iconography of the goddess of the hunt with an elegant hairstyle and a serene expression, evoking Greco-Roman art. Made of terracotta, the bust is covered with a cream-coloured painted finish that highlights the details of the drapery and the facial features. With a height of approximately 31 centimetres and a width of 18 centimetres, its compact dimensions allow it to fit easily into various spaces. The form is mounted on a circular base that complements the neoclassical aesthetic of the whole. The overall condition of the sculpture is good, exhibiting an authentic character that reflects its history. The painted surface is largely intact, retaining its matte appearance and original texture. The piece maintains its structural integrity and decorative appeal. This bust of Artemis is a refined addition to a library, fireplace, or console. It harmonises particularly well with classic, Parisian, or eclectic interiors, where it can serve as a focal point or complement a collection of art objects.
