A French patinated bronze cabinet bust of a woman, dating to the 19th century. The sitter is modelled with her head inclined to one side, wearing an elaborate Renaissance-style coiffure and headdress, above a finely detailed draped bodice.
Raised on an integral waisted socle and square plinth, the bronze retains a deep brown-black patina with surface variation and wear consistent with age. The historicising treatment reflects the 19th-century French taste for Renaissance subjects and sculpture.
