Bust Of Diana With A Crescent Moon - Bronze, 19th Century - Susse Frères Foundry
Artist: Dans Le Goût De Hondon
An elegant bronze bust of Diana, goddess of the hunt, recognizable by the crescent moon adorning her hair.
This sculpture is based on the famous model attributed to Jean-Antoine Houdon, whose name appears engraved here in relief, "Houdon sculp.", on the reverse of the bust.
This is an apocryphal signature, frequently found on 19th-century casts, recalling the author of the original model.
The piece rests on a circular pedestal decorated with a frieze and displays a very fine quality of chasing, particularly evident in the treatment of the hair, drapery, and facial features.
The cast bears the mark of the renowned Parisian foundry Susse Frères, active in the 19th century and celebrated for the quality of its bronze editions.
The piece has a beautiful, warm, and even bronze patina, highlighting the delicate modeling of the bust.
A fine example of decorative bronze from the second half of the 19th century, inspired by Neoclassical statuary.
