Mid-Century Plaster Bust of a Lady

£245.00
Taxes included.

A charming and unusual mid-century plaster bust, portraying a woman with a playful, open-mouthed expression and tongue slightly out, full of character and life.

Likely created between the 1940s and 1950s, this piece reflects the expressive, sometimes whimsical style of post-war studio art and folk sculpture. The bust is hand-finished plaster, the artists mould that would have been used to create a bronze. With subtle colouring on the lips and eyes, mounted on a simple stained wooden base typical of the era.

Pieces like this were often made by studios, this version would have been a preparatory mould for bronze casting. The exaggerated pose and lively features echo the Hollywood-inspired aesthetic of mid-century portraiture.

A wonderful display piece for collectors of folk art, expressive sculpture, or theatrical decor, bringing both humour and history to any interior.
