Mademoiselle Bust

This 1940s bust from Marseille feels like a quiet daydream carved with her head tilted in shy repose as if she’s caught in thought. The softened features and time-worn surface give her the presence of a relic, even though she was likely sculpted for a garden or interior alcove rather than a grand hall. Sylvie sees her perched on a mantel or sideboard, a shy little companion who brings a gentle, almost tender atmosphere into the room.
