Description from the seller
Bust of Ludwig van Beethoven
Second half of the 20th century
Materials: resin-based composite material with a finish mimicking a dark patina and applications in gilded brass alloy; polished marble base.
Decorative bust representing Ludwig van Beethoven, inspired by the traditional iconography of the famous German composer. The figure is depicted in half-figure, with a stern and concentrated expression, highlighting the characteristic wavy hair and the period attire consisting of a frock coat, waistcoat and tie tied.
The work is made in resin-based composite material, modeled with good detail in facial features and in the folds of the clothing. It features a two-tone finish combining a dark gray patina with elements highlighted by a gilded brass alloy finish, applied to the hair, lapels and tie, which creates an attractive color contrast and enhances the piece’s volumes.
The bust rises on an elegant turned base of polished marble in beige and cream tones with natural veining, which provides stability and a classical character to the set.
Ornamental piece, mass-produced or semi-mass-produced, representative of European decorative production of the second half of the 20th century, intended for libraries, offices, music rooms or collections dedicated to historical and cultural figures.
Condition: good overall condition, with slight signs of use and aging consistent with its age.
Tracked shipping and proper packaging.
