A-e. Carrier Belleuse, Bust "flore", Art Nouveau Ceramic Barbotine
Artist: Albert-ernest Carrier-belleuse (1824-1887) & Manufacture De Choisy-le-roi
A polychrome fine earthenware bust of a woman, resting on an elegant turned wooden base. This delicate work perfectly illustrates the decorative refinement and naturalistic sensitivity of the artist: the serene, youthful face is framed by hair adorned with flowers in relief, evoking the goddess of spring and abundance. The subtly applied polychrome tones enhance the soft drapery of the garment as well as the floral details that enliven the composition. The overall piece conveys a gentle poetic quality and demonstrates Carrier-Belleuse’s remarkable mastery in the art of decorative portraiture.
