LADY IN CHEPC, alabaster, 19th / 20th century

A bust representation of a lady wearing a wide bonnet. Its subtle overtones correspond to the soft matter of stone.

Delicate facial features are exposed thanks to the wide areas of the headgear. Their meticulous decoration highlights a lily, embroidered on its top.

A heavy medallion adorns the girl's neckline, drawing the viewer's attention to the unusual pleat of the dress.
