Sculpture

This cheeky looking young lady with very little on is Cleopatra in a rather seductive pose.
She is sitting on a low wall incised with Egyptian motifs and at her back is a sphinx.

This lively and accomplished work is French, C.1900.
It is executed in different specimens of alabaster, the white giving translucent flesh tones, the brown forming the skirt and plinth behind.

This charming bust of a young girl is carved from marble and was made in the second half of 19th century.
It is after an original by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741 - 1828).

This sculpture of a semi-nude lady stylishly leaning against a piece of fancy architectural work is French, C. 1890.

These finely executed sculptures, after the antique, are carved from white marble and date to the second half of 19th century.

This charming bust is French, C.1880. She is dressed in the flamboyant costume of the period and is depicted with rather a saucy look on her face, as though she is nursing a secret.
