This refined bronze bust, entitled "Mignon," is a work by Emmanuel Villanis, one of the most renowned sculptors of elegant female figures in late 19th-century France. The young woman is depicted with a gentle, introspective expression, her head slightly inclined and framed by softly wavy hair beneath a delicate cap. Villanis's modeling is characteristic: fluid and naturalistic, it combines academic precision with a romantic sensibility. The subtle transitions of the face contrast harmoniously with the textured, rock-like base, enhancing the overall sculptural depth. Signed on the base and inscribed "Salon 1826," the bronze also bears the foundry mark "LU 131." The warm brown patina further highlights the refined quality of the surface. Dimensions: Height: 58 cm; Width: 34 cm; Depth: 20 cm
