Bust Of A Young Woman – Patinated Bronze – Signed Luigi Baliani – Art Nouveau Period

An elegant bronze bust depicting a young woman with a gentle, slightly inclined face, her hair styled in an elaborate chignon and dressed in a flowing, draped bodice. The delicate expression and fine modeling of the face attest to the high quality of the sculpture, typical of the artistic sensibility of the Art Nouveau period. The sculpture retains a superb original two-tone warm brown patina, which particularly highlights the volumes of the face, the finely sculpted hair, and the folds of the garment. The work is signed Luigi Baliani on the back of the bust. This Italian sculptor, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is known for his decorative female busts in the naturalistic and elegant style of his time. Period: circa 1900. Signature: Luigi Baliani. Material: patinated bronze. Height: 50 cm. Condition: very good, beautiful antique patina. A charming decorative sculpture, characteristic of the artistic production of the Belle Époque.
