li>Title:Italian 19th Century Cesare Lapini Marble Girl Sculpture

Description: Large and very heavy carved Cesare Lapini Continental late Victorian era Italian white marble statue sculpture of a Romantic young girl in a Beaux Arts Belle Epoch floppy brimmed hat. Provenance: Greater New York, Monmouth County, New Jersey retirees to the Tampa Bay area, name withheld.

Approx. Dimensions or Size:26.125 inches tall, 9.5 inches widest dimension front to back, 8 inches widest dimensional left to eight

Condition:Generally sound estate discovery condition, scattered nicks and dings,one of her fingers is missing, some discoloration. Note there are three indentations on the hat brim with a variety of smooth, tactile and rough portions to those edges. At first we thought those areas were chipped however upon further consideration we are entertaining the thought that perhaps one or more indentations, especially the large one by the front, might be a stylistic device to reveal more of the face, but that is only conjecture and without further knowledge, the bidder should consider all three brim losses to be damage
