Female Bust In White Carrara Marble, Signed By Howdon
An elegant female bust in white Carrara marble depicting an idealized young woman, wearing a turban adorned with flames or stylized leaves, in a style inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.
The young woman is depicted with her gaze lowered, her hands crossed over her chest, while a finely sculpted drape reveals her shoulders. The piece as a whole showcases beautiful sculptural craftsmanship, particularly evident in the modeling of the face, the delicacy of the fingers, the folds of the garment, and the hairstyle.
The bust rests on a circular white marble pedestal, providing an elegant display. It bears the engraved signature "Howdon" on the reverse side.
This decorative sculpture, created in the neoclassical style during the second half of the 19th century, fits perfectly into a classical, Napoleon III, or contemporary interior.
