A finely modeled terracotta bust of a woman in Renaissance attire, signed “L Madrassi”, referring to Luca Madrassi (Italian-French, 1848–1919), a renowned sculptor active in Paris. The subject's serene expression, elaborate hairstyle, and intricately rendered garments reflect Madrassi’s Academic training and his expertise in idealized portraiture.

Madrassi frequently worked in bronze, marble, and terracotta, and his sculptures were exhibited at prestigious Parisian exhibitions in the late 19th century. This example showcases his romanticized female portraiture — finely executed, elegant, and texturally rich.
