Gesso bust statue of a woman in the Art Nouveau (Liberty) style, signed by C. Jacobs N.58, 24 × 43 × 16 cm, European origin, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
Antique plaster statue – Bust of a woman, Art Nouveau / Liberty period – Signed C. Jacobs N.58
Elegant vintage statue depicting the bust of a young woman, made of plaster and attributed to the French Art Nouveau period and Italian Liberty style, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The work is signed C. Jacobs and numbered N.58, elements that highlight its meticulous craftsmanship and artistic value.
The bust features the typical traits of the Art Nouveau movement: soft lines, delicate physiognomy, harmony between naturalistic forms and stylized sensuality, characteristics that give the figure a strong expressiveness and timeless charm.
During the same period, plaster statues with female subjects were very common in France and Italy, often conceived as models for works later cast in bronze. The bronze versions, which are now particularly sought after, testify to how much these creations were appreciated by artists of the time.
The statue presents itself as a refined decorative object, ideal for enriching classic or eclectic environments with a touch of historical elegance.
Height: 43 cm
