"Sculpture - Bronze - The Laughing One - Houdon - France - 19th Century "

Patinated bronze sculpture, bust representing a laughing woman, after the famous sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741–1828), undisputed master of portraiture in the 18th century. This remarkable work captures with finesse and sensitivity the fleeting moment of a mischievous smile, in a posture that is both modest and expressive. The finely worked drapery, the lowered gaze and the sensual lines of the anatomy testify to great technical and artistic mastery. Mounted on a square, rotating base. Signed on the back "Houdon sculpte" France 19th century
