A characterful vintage bust depicting a young boy, modelled in cement and clay with a wonderfully expressive and naturalistic appearance.

The sculpture captures the youthful features of its subject with softly rounded cheeks, detailed facial modelling and textured hair, giving the piece a lifelike and contemplative quality.

The unfinished and slightly rustic surface treatment highlights the hand-crafted nature of the work, allowing the sculptor’s modelling marks and artistic process to remain visible.

Executed in a style reminiscent of traditional studio sculpture and academic portrait studies, the bust possesses a timeless decorative appeal.

The weathered surface and honest craftsmanship give it the appearance of a sculptor’s maquette or workshop study, making it particularly attractive to collectors of studio art, figurative sculpture and decorative interiors.
