Hooded Bust of a Young Girl in a Hooded Cape, Alabaster, 19th century, carved alabaster raised on a base, Unique, 61cm high, 29cm wide, 36cm deep

The Hooded Bust of a Young Girl in a Hooded Cape is a delicate 19th-century alabaster sculpture. Alabaster, soft and translucent, beautifully captures fine details like the girl’s gentle features and the folds of the cape. The stone gives the piece an ethereal, almost ghostly quality, with light playing across its surface.

Standing 61 cm high, 29 cm wide, and 36 cm deep, the sculpture has a refined presence. It’s not overly large but still commands attention. Alabaster was popular in the 19th century for busts and portraiture, admired for its ability to capture light and shadow.

Being a unique piece, it holds added value for collectors or anyone interested in 19th-century art. The hooded cape adds mystery or innocence, enriching the narrative of the work.
