The work is inspired by a famous original by Augustin Pajou, one of the greatest sculptors of the 18th century. Splendid White Marble Bust - Portrait of Madame du Barry (19th century) We offer a magnificent white marble bust, a refined representation of Marie-Jeanne Bécu, Countess du Barry (1743-1793), the last and fascinating favorite of King Louis XV of France. This work, created in the 19th century, skilfully reproduces the famous model created in 1773 by the neoclassical sculptor Augustin Pajou. The elegance of the portrait is enhanced by the high-quality marble, which captures the delicate beauty and character of one of the most fascinating figures in French history. The details are finely sculpted: from the wavy and flowing hair, typical of the hairstyles of the time, to the draping of the dress that falls softly on the right shoulder. The face, with its gentle features and the gaze slightly turned to the side, conveys a sense of grace and introspection, capturing the essence of a woman who, although not from nobility, knew how to conquer the court of Versailles. The bust rests on a circular column base, also in marble, which enhances its monumentality and makes it a perfect piece of furniture for any classic or modern environment that desires a touch of history and art.
