This listing is for a very fine circa 1890’s French Art Nouveau bronze bust of a young beauty with a hat. The piece measures 14 inches or 35.5 cm high, and is 7 inches or 18 cm at its widest.

The bronze features a ¾ bust of a beautiful young woman wearing a large brimmed hat. She wears her hair loose and flowing under her hat. She has excellent rendering in her smiling face and hair, also the details in her clothes is quite fine. The bronze has a milk chocolate brown patina or color, which is all original to the piece. It is signed on the back “G. VAN DER STRAETEN”, this for Georges Van Der Straeten (1856-1928) who was Belgian in descent but lived and worked in Paris for much of his life. He began exhibiting at the Salon in 1885 and produced many portraits and some fanciful busts. There is also a foundry mark on the back for the Societe des Bronzes of Paris.
