Classical female bust in Bisque porcelain – Academic Art Studio Sculpture – c. Early–Mid 20th Century. Object Female bust / academic head study Material Bisque porcelain (unglazed porcelain) Period Early–mid 20th century Origin Europe Style Classical / Academic / Figurative A finely modelled classical female bust in bisque porcelain, produced in the tradition of academic art studio and atelier models used for drawing and sculptural study. The bust depicts a young woman with a calm, neutral expression and softly defined facial features. Her hair is drawn back into a stylised ponytail that flows into the rear of the bust, creating a balanced and elegant sculptural form when viewed from all angles. The unglazed bisque porcelain surface gives a matte, marble-like appearance, intentionally chosen to emphasise form, proportion, and light rather than surface decoration. This finish is characteristic of high-quality academic models and clearly distinguishes the piece from glazed decorative ceramics, plaster casts, or modern resin reproductions. The sculpture is hollow-cast with an open base, consistent with traditional ceramic production methods. No maker’s mark is present, which is typical for studio and teaching models of this type. A timeless and tasteful object with appeal to ceramic collectors, sculpture enthusiasts, artists, and interior designers.
