A beautifully expressive terracotta bust depicting a serene, contemplative figure, modeled with quiet sensitivity and depth. The surface retains the subtle marks of the artist’s hands — gentle shifts in texture and form that give the face a lifelike presence and emotional weight.
Finished in a darkened patina that settles into the contours of the eyes, cheekbones and lips, the sculpture has the feeling of an archaeological fragment — timeless, grounded, and deeply human. The elongated neck and softly sloped shoulders give the piece a graceful, almost meditative posture.
Mounted on a simple wooden plinth, it works as both an art object and a focal point — striking on a console, bookshelf or pedestal, where its stillness and expression can be fully appreciated.
