1. Description of the work :
This maiden bust by Gustave Van Vaerenbergh is a delicate sculpture in marble and alabaster, featuring a young woman wearing a veil tied at the back. The gentle, serene face expresses innocence and melancholy. The garment is worked in a ribbed stone, offering a magnificent contrast between the smooth complexion of the face and the marbled texture of the drapery. The details of the face, particularly the curls framing the cheeks, reveal great technical mastery.
2. Artistic trend :
This work is part of the Art Nouveau movement, active between 1890 and 1910. This movement valued natural beauty, soft lines and graceful forms, which are reflected in the delicate posture and careful treatment of fabric and hair. The attention paid to precious materials and refined finishes is also characteristic of Art Nouveau.
3. Artist biography :
Gustave Van Vaerenbergh (1873-1927) was a Belgian sculptor renowned for his female busts imbued with sensitivity and charm. Trained at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, he followed the naturalist tradition while integrating the aesthetics of Art Nouveau. He collaborated with art publishers, producing sculptures in marble, alabaster and bronze. His work is marked by a quest for softness and timeless elegance.
