Auguste Bija

AUGUSTE BIJA (1872 - 1957).
"Bust of a lady".
Patinated bronze.
Signed on the front left.
Measurements: 30 cm (height); 12 cm (height pedestal).
Round sculpture made of bronze. The main image starts from a pedestal on which rests the bust of a woman, dressed in a shirt with v-neckline and a cap in the fashion of the 20's. The piece stands out for the veracity of the piece that tends to naturalism as can be seen through the folds of the fabric on the shoulder of the protagonist. Although it is true that the face of the young woman has idealized character traits.
