Female bust; Cyprus century, V-IV BC. Limestone. It shows superficial wear and losses of material on the nose, cheek and chin. Provenance: Alexandre Iolas, (1908-1987), Paris, acquired on the Parisian art market in the 1960s/1970s. Measurements: 17,5 x 9 x 11,5 cm. Beautiful head of a veiled woman made in Cypriot limestone. Probably belonging to a larger sculpture. It shows a feminine face with very characteristic features, like almond-shaped eyes, big nose and thick lips, a serene face with a hint of smile. She wears a hairstyle with a veil that reveals her curly hair-finished in front. This work belonged to the collection of Alexander Iolas (1908 - 1987), a famous Greek-American art gallery owner of Egyptian origin and great collector of modern art, who launched the careers of René Magritte, Andy Warhol or Max Ernst among other artists. He established the modern model of the world art business, managing successful galleries in Paris, Geneva, Milan and New York. Ancient Cypriot art refers to all works of visual art originating from Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean, from about 10,000 B.C. to about 330 A.D. During this period, various types of objects such as domestic tools, weapons, jewelry and decorative figures were produced. This range of art attests to the mixture of both native and foreign influences from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome as they successively occupied the country. Works of art produced in ancient Cyprus incorporate almost every visual art medium worked in ancient history, including terracotta, stone, metals, glass, and precious stones. There is superficial wear and loss of material on the nose, cheek and chin.
