Exceptional sculpted model figure bust of a young woman by Alfred Stellmacher (later RStK ) made Teplitz Austria between 1884-94. 14inches high. Cream tone colours with surface textureof the skin being amazingly life-like. A young girl in Victorian dress with huge bow in her hair on a naturalistic pedestal base, with applied flowers
and berries in immitation of a tree trunk. The modelling is exceptional - hands and face are amazingly realistic and the expression and character shown in the face are quite superior to even the best quality busts normally seen. She wears a very finely detailed dress. Marked underneath with the violet stamp (partly erased) AS-1, used by Alfred Stellmacher from 1884-1894. MINT condition. No chips/cracks/damage/losses/restoration of any sort. |
