Bust of a woman "the elegant"XIXth in painted plaster signed on its solid wood base

The bust is in very good condition. Note many traces of use, in particular small gaps or splinters at the level of the most prominent reliefs, caused by friction or slight shocks, but this remains superficial. You have to look at the photos. The painted plaster bust is simply placed on its solid wood base, which was probably custom made for this purpose. The wooden foot is waxed. The bust is signed and dated at the base, from 1877, late nineteenth century. Beautiful patina due to the old repaints. The bust has a very beautiful presence, it has a crazy charm.
