FAUVETTE lovely Art Nouveau lady bust marked on the plinth "Fauvette", c 1900

Price: $298.00
Description FAUVETTE lovely Art Nouveau lady bust marked on the plinth "Fauvette".  Fauvette means "warbler" in French, referring to a small song bird, and also to a singer.  This is made of cast metal with a bronze patina that is just beautiful, 6-1/4" high and in really good condition, as you can see in the photos.  This graceful young woman, with her softly flowing hair and serene expression, reflects the elegant style of the Art Nouveau era.

Shown here as a reference is a page from my 1902 Becken Catalogue illustrating just a few of the many decorative figures that were popular around the turn of the twentieth century.  It helps place this lovely bust in the context of the period in which it was made.  View   View   View  All
