A finely carved small Victorian marble bust depicting a young woman with softly modelled features and gently waved hair drawn back from the face. The head is subtly turned, lending a sense of movement and quiet expression characteristic of mid-19th-century academic sculpture.
The figure wears classical drapery, delicately carved with flowing folds across the shoulders and chest. Executed in pale marble with attractive natural veining, the bust retains a pleasing surface and good definition despite its modest scale. Raised on an integral socle base.
This is a decorative yet well-modelled example, ideal for display on a bookshelf, console, or cabinet rather than as a grand statement piece.
circa 1860
