Small Art Nouveau bronze bust, "La Poésie," crafted by Lecci in the early 20th century. This petite sculpture embodies the spirit of Belle Époque artistry, it portrays a female figure adorned with a laurel crown, symbolizing poetic inspiration. The golden patina on the surface imparts a warm, lustrous sheen to the meticulously cast and polished metalwork. Finely modeled facial features and flowing hair capture the essence of feminine grace characteristic of the period. Mounted on a modern acrylic base, the piece harmoniously blends classical motifs with contemporary presentation, serving as a decorative figure or as a seal. The artist's signature and creation date are inscribed on the side of the piece.
Notably, this work was exhibited at the prestigious Salon des Artistes Français in Paris, 1910—an annual event showcasing France's most talented artists since 1881—as evidenced by digitized catalog images from that year's edition included in this listing. less
