This beautiful 19th century marble bust is signed on the back by T. Cipriani.  It depicts a woman with a very serene expression, with her eyes gazing to the left, as if viewing something in the distance.   Stalks of leaves with flowers adorn the front of her dress.  Her hair has been gently tied back with more flowers interspersed throughout.  Cipriani has masterfully captured this lovely woman’s mood in this marble bust.
Condition:  Minor rubs commensurate with age.
