Estimate value
€ 900 – 1 800
"La Pudeur". Originaltitel Weißer Carrara-Marmor. Vollplastische, wohl Ende des 19. Jhs. ausgeführte Halbfigur bzw. Büste einer jungen Frau mit schelmischem Lächeln, die schamhaft versucht ihre teilw. entblößte Brust zu bedecken und hierbei nach rechts unten blickt. Ihre kunstvolle Frisur aus ineinander verschlungenen Zöpfen wird von einem Stirnband gehalten, mit ihren über der Brust gekreuzten Händen hält sie ein im antiken Stil drapiertes Kleid. Die Skulptur gehörte im 19. Jh. zu den vielfach kopierten Werken Houdons (ein Exemplar u. a. in der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart). Der klassizistische Bildhauer gehörte zu den gefragtesten Künstlern seiner Zeit, er war außer in Frankreich auch in Deutschland, Russland, Italien und den USA tätig. Als erfolgreichster Porträtbildhauer verstand er es, wie kaum ein anderer, die feinen Züge seiner Modelle zu erfassen und deren Charakter in Marmor umzusetzen. Ein Finger geklebt. H. 54 cm.
After Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741 - 1828). White Carrara marble bust, probably late 19th century. One finger glued.
