A polychromed terracotta bust of a lady, dating to the late 19th century and signed “Neri” to the reverse. This finely sculpted bust depicts a head and shoulders portrait of a neoclassical lady wearing a laurel wreath in her hair. The bust has a bronzed polychrome finish and is signed “Neri” to the reverse, presumably by Alfredo Neri (1862-1928) and further stamped with numbers inside. This is a highly decorative piece in the Art-Nouveau style with a nod the neoclassical.
Tip of one laurel leaf on the reverse has been broken and reglued. Some very small “nibbles” around the edges in places. Some small white dots to surface on the reverse. Age related wear as expected. Overall good. Please examine photos carefully.
