Description from the seller

Classic Marble Bust after Francesco Laurana – Renaissance Noblewoman

A particularly elegant, hand-carved marble bust of a noblewoman from the Italian Renaissance, made after the famous model of the 15th-century sculptor Francesco Laurana (known for his portraits of, among others, Beatrice Portinari and Laura).

The bust is carved from a heavy, dark natural stone with a beautiful, subtly veined pattern and a matte, refined finish. The lady is characterized by her serene, restrained facial expression, downcast eyes, and the Renaissance-typical hairstyle with a braided headband and graceful drapery folds. It sits on a turned marble base.

- Material: Hand-carved dark marble / natural stone
- Origin: Italy (attributed)
- Period: Second half of the 20th century (ca. 1950 – 1980)
- Condition: In excellent condition with light, authentic signs of aging on the stone surface that enhance its appearance. No cracks or restorations.
- A timeless and stylish art object with a classical museum-like presence that fits wonderfully in both a classic/antique and sleek modern interior.

The lot is packed with utmost care and shipped by registered mail with Track & Trace.
