This exquisite neoclassical bust is a fine example of 19th-century French craftsmanship, executed in the style of Le Tourneur and reminiscent of the celebrated works from the Sèvres porcelain manufactory. Sculpted in elegant white bisque porcelain, the figure captures the refined features and aristocratic elegance of a noblewoman, possibly inspired by Marie Antoinette or a court lady of the Louis XVI period. Her coiffed hair adorned with delicate roses, her draped shawl detailed with fleur-de-lis motifs, and the finely modeled medallion all demonstrate exceptional attention to detail and technical mastery.

The bust rests on a beautifully ornate pedestal enriched with floral garlands and sits atop a finely cast and gilded bronze base, further enhancing its regal presence. The contrast between the matte white porcelain and the luminous gilt bronze mount creates a striking visual effect that elevates the overall aesthetic appeal.

Signed “Le Tourneur” at the back, the piece reflects the neoclassical revival style so highly prized during the 19th century. This sculpture is not only a decorative object but a true collector’s piece, ideal for sophisticated interiors, mantelpieces, or display cabinets. A rare and timeless work that adds elegance and history to any setting.
