Bust Of Maenad (bacchante) In Carrara Marble Signed F. Lovino - Late 19th Century

Elegant bust in white Carrara marble depicting a Maenad, a mythological figure associated with the procession of Bacchus.

The young woman is depicted in a gentle, slightly turned attitude, her gaze downcast, her face imbued with serenity. Her hair is richly adorned with a crown of foliage and bunches evoking the vine, a characteristic attribute of the Bacchantes. The shoulder is delicately embellished with fruit and leaves, reinforcing the Dionysian character of the composition.

The modeling is fine and nuanced, particularly in the treatment of the face and hair, testifying to quality work in the naturalist taste of the late 19th century.

The work rests on an elegant pedestal in Fleur de pêcher veined marble, which emphasizes the whiteness of the bust and gives it a fine decorative presence.
