Small bronze bearing the signature Gemito

We present this splendid small bronze sculpture depicting the bust of a young woman, dating back to the early 20th century. The sculpture is signed GEMITO on the back, likely the work of Vincenzo Gemito (Naples, July 16, 1852 – Naples, March 1, 1929), an Italian sculptor and goldsmith. This refined bust depicts a young woman with gathered hair and a low neckline; the artist likely intended it to depict "The Nurse," a typical subject of the veristic style. On the back is a stamp, no longer legible, likely identifying the foundry. This small bronze will not go unnoticed by your guests; its artistic beauty can enrich any space in your home. Furthermore, its small size allows you to easily place it on any display in your sculpture collection.
