LADY IN VELON, terracotta, 19th century

A bust of a lady in a cascading veil.

The young woman is shown with her head held high. Her tied hair is adorned with a wide tiara, supporting the woven veil.

A long strip of transparent material falls on the model's slender shoulder. It covers one of the bare breasts and at the same time serves as a setting for a beaded necklace.
