AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful patinated plaster bust in a bronze-like finish depicting a Bacchante, an iconic figure of the Belgian sculptor Jef Lambeaux (1852–1908).
The female figure wears a crown integrated with grape clusters and vine leaves. This Bacchic theme recurs in Lambeaux, famous for his realistic, neo-Baroque style imbued with great sensuality.
The tilted head, the gentle sly smile and the expressive gaze capture a lively and playful grace, very characteristic of the artist's handling of flesh and movement.
The bust is signed in the mass on the back: “Jef LAMBEAUX”.
Jef Lambeaux is a major figure in Belgian sculpture of the late 19th century (notably famous for the Brabo Fountain in Antwerp and the monumental relief of the Human Passions at Parc du Cinquantenaire in Brussels). His busts of Bacchantes and laughing young women were cast in different formats and materials (bronze, terracotta, patinated plaster) for the art market of the time.
Dimensions :
Height: 43 cm
Width: 30 cm
Depth: 16 cm
The sculpture is generally in good condition, with a few visible nicks/chips (see photos) and it will be shipped in appropriate packing.
