Friederich GOLDSCHEIDER (1845-1897) - Bust of woman with butterfly
A sublime work by the prestigious Goldscheider factory, this polychrome terracotta bust delicately embodies feminine elegance and the poetry of life. The young woman's serene face, emphasized by a subtle drapery, welcomes a painted bronze butterfly, a symbol of lightness and ephemerality.
Signed, numbered and dated 1869, this large, 68 cm-high subject bears witness to the refinement and exceptional craftsmanship of Friederich Goldscheider, a master of Viennese sculpture. A rare piece, at the crossroads of realism and orientalism.
