Greek head in waxed ivory plaster

Head in waxed plaster, life-size, it is rare. Its ivory glossy patina is very rich in nuances. This model has the particularity of being very contrasted in its sculpture. The hair is indeed very worked, in depth with significant hollows and the face is on the contrary smooth and exudes 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 present itself standing or lying like a sculpture fallen to the ground, old antique ground way. In very good condition. Width: 23 cm. Height: 33 cm.
