1232 - Workshop of Gustave Fontaine (Etterbeek, 1877 – Brussels, 1952) - Modeled female head

Workshop of Gustave Fontaine (Etterbeek, 1877 – Brussels, 1952) - Modeled female head Plaster. Dimensions: 39 × 25 × 27 cm. A sculptural study from the workshop of Gustave Fontaine, created as an academic model or working piece. The female head is characterized by sensitive and balanced modeling, with a soft treatment of volumes and particular attention to expression and the anatomical structure of the face. This type of work served as a formative exercise and reference in the sculptor’s creative process, and constitutes a representative testament to the teaching and practice of sculpture in Belgium during the first half of the 20th century.
