Description from the seller
Alabaster bust depicting the Madonna with a veil, signed Pugi.
Work by the Italian sculptor Guglielmo Pugi (Fiesole 1850 - Florence 1915), active in Florence between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specializing in female busts and devotional subjects.
Delicate face with lowered gaze in a contemplative pose, veil sculpted with soft, natural folds, floral brooch on the chest.
On the front of the base, the inscription MADONNA is incised. On the back, on the right shoulder, the hand-incised signature Pugi, as shown in the photo.
Small format, suitable for collecting and desk display, particularly refined in the fine details despite its compact size.
Height 23, width 12, depth 8.
The statue is in good condition. Damage to the pedestal in 2 places. See photos. Patina and slight natural stains on the marble, as shown in the photos. Signature legible. Family provenance: belonged to the owner's great-grandmother in San Frediano, Florence, and has always been kept in the family at Via dell'Anconella.
VERY CAREFUL PACKAGING!!!
