The French sculptor Henri Weigele is famous for producing highly detailed figurative sculptures, as exemplified by this impressive terracotta bust of a young girl.
This superb terracotta sculpture bust depicts a young girl. The girl is represented with a serene countenance, with her flowing hair tied to one side by a bow. She wears a lace trimmed top, which is deftly rendered with a host of intricate detailing. The naturalism of the piece is remarkable, as expected of a work by the sculptor Henri Weigele. The bust is raised on a socle, and is signed ‘H. Weigele’.
