Polychrome Terracotta Bust of a Woman – 18th Century

Elegant polychrome terracotta female bust, dating back to the 18th century.

The figure features delicate features and a refined, serene expression, typical of late Baroque iconography.

The wavy, gathered hair is painted in golden tones, while the face is characterized by pale skin, slightly flushed cheeks, and rosy lips and glass eyes.

The careful workmanship and expressive rendering suggest artistic production from the Neapolitan or Genoese school, intended for a sacred composition.

It features an original patina and signs of aging that testify to its authenticity.

Minor losses and cracks do not compromise the legibility or charm of the piece.
