AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Art Nouveau–style bronze bust, traditionally identified as the actress Lya Lys (1908–1986), known for her role in L'Âge d'Or directed by Luis Buñuel.
This finely crafted sculpture depicts a youthful female figure with softly modelled features and flowing hair, capturing the refined, theatrical elegance associated with early 20th-century cinema and stage culture. The decorative scrollwork on the pedestal and the harmonious proportions reflect strong Art Nouveau influences.
The piece is handmade in bronze with a polished marble base, giving it both visual presence and a solid, high-quality feel. The warm patina enhances the sculptural details and adds to its classic decorative appeal. Can be slightly different than the pics because it is handmade.
A striking collector’s object that bridges art, film history, and decorative sculpture — ideal for lovers of early cinema, period interiors, or antique bronzes.
61x31.5x20.2cm - 14.87kg
