Rare Bronze Bust Signed Georges Van der Straeten (1856–1928) – Société des Bronzes de Paris – H 63 cm – Rich Chocolate & Gilt Patina
I am offering a rare Belle Époque bronze bust, signed by Georges Van der Straeten (1856–1928) and cast and stamped by the renowned Société des Bronzes de Paris, a foundry celebrated for the exceptional quality of its productions.
Description :
This elegant young gallant lady, with refined and delicate features, reveals a subtle smile behind her loup (mask), suggesting both mystery and playful charm.
She wears a conical hat adorned with two pom-poms and a wide ruff collar reminiscent of the Harlequin costume, evoking the theatrical and festive spirit of the Belle Époque.
The composition conveys the joyful and carefree atmosphere of celebration, enhanced by a touch of mischievous mystery suggested by the mask.
The theatrical character and masked elegance naturally evoke Venice and its famous carnivals, adding a romantic and enigmatic dimension to the sculpture.
