A turn of the 20th century Emmanuel Villanis styled Virgin Mary bust sculpture exudes the ethereal grace reminiscent of the virgin saint in an Art Nouveau style. Resting on a polished black marble plinth, the veiled lady’s bust is finished with a patinated bronze coating, showcasing a greenish-brown hue.
The delicate drapery and serene expression evoke a style akin to that of Emmanuel Villanis, known for his detailed and emotive sculptures. This piece is an exquisite choice for enriching an Art Nouveau collection or enhancing an eclectic decor with a touch of spiritual elegance and period artistry.
