Infant's Head In White Marble, After Jean Carriès
Artist: D’après Jean Carriès (1855-1894)
A charming sculpture in white Carrara marble based on the famous infant head by Jean Joseph Carriès (1855–1894).
The face is adorable and emerges from the marble as if from a flower’s corolla; of course, it is a garment, but it is reminiscent of the work of certain contemporary photographers who make babies’ faces emerge from roses or cabbages.
The sculpture is inspired by and perfectly captures the spirit of Carriès’s infant faces.
The finish is superb, with a beautiful antique patina.
Excellent condition.
A truly beautiful Art Nouveau sculpture of a baby’s face.
Dimensions:
16 cm tall.
