Busts
‘Judith’ by Goldscheider
Impressive and rare Orientalist terracotta bust from Goldscheider titled ‘Judith’. More usually seen as a statue showing her semi-naked, holding a sword behind her back (model nos. 734a and 1012a). Here however, she is fully…
Wistful Judith
Very pretty Art Nouveau French terracotta bust “Judith” (obviously a different Judith to the one listed previously) by the sculptor Goyeau. This bust has quite an individual look, being uncluttered and minimalistic in appearance. The…
Goldscheider Bust by Nelson
Wonderful bust of a Nouveau maiden originally sculpted by Alphonse-Henri Nelson and produced by Fr. Goldscheider around 1900. The title is Ondine although it has also been recorded as Oudine. Such a classic Art Nouveau…

Fabulous pair of Orientalist busts from Van Hasselt. These – when they can be found at all – are occasionally seen individually but are very rarely offered as a pair. The subjects are certainly Arabic…
Old Breton Lady
A unique and quite stunning hand finished terracotta bust by the French sculptress Berthe Girardet (née Imer, b. Marseilles 1869). This is such a beautifully sympathetic sculpture, emphasising the strength and character in this lady’s wonderful…
Egyptian Temptress
Terracotta “Cleopatre” signed by Jacobs. The classical Egyptian temptress as interpreted by this highly regarded French sculptor. Attractively finished in a single rich reddish-brown colour, giving it a look almost of bronze. Wearing an ornate…
Bronze Lady
“Buste de Faunesse a la Coiffure de Feuilles et Fruits” – quite some title! This is a dark green patinated bronze bust set on a square, slightly tapered red marble base and signed in the…
Nouveau Maiden by Carli
French plaster bust of a romantically stylised young maiden and so typically Art Nouveau. She has a delightfully innocent face and a most impressive hair style. Her clothing is finished in pleasingly muted shades of…
Very Old Goldscheider
Super small Goldscheider bust of a north African lady with a wonderful face, wearing a jewelled headband around her forehead. Numbered 323 verso, this is very similar to model no. 1044 illustrated on p. 20 of…
Goldscheider Ceramic Bust
