J. Guarini - Bust, Jeanne d'Arc - Femme au bonnet - 14.5 cm - Alabaster

Beautiful and refined antique Art Deco bust portraying the French national heroine Joan of Arc as a young shepherdess from Domrémy. This finely detailed artwork is crafted from high-quality, hand-carved Italian alabaster and mounted on a matching marble plinth. The statue is an authentic work by the Italian sculptor O. Guerrieri from the early 20th century (circa 1920-1930). The artist has vividly captured the historical figure with her characteristic medieval hood (béguin) and the traditional peasant dress with a laced closure at the chest. Her serene, slightly upward gaze gives the sculpture a powerful and spiritual aura. The piece is authentically signed on the back by the master with "O. Guerrieri". The object is in a lived-in, original vintage condition with authentic age patina. The details in the finely cut alabaster have been exceptionally well preserved. Important note regarding condition: The marble plinth has been broken in the past and subsequently (skilfully) glued/repaired. This old restoration is visible on the bottom and sides (see detail photos), but the plinth is structurally stable and the sculpture stands firmly on its base.
