Striking studio-made clay bust featuring an elongated modernist face with closed, meditative eyes and a sculptural integrated base. The proportions are refined and intentional, drawing from classic modernist figuration while maintaining a distinctly contemporary presence.

The surface is entirely hand-painted after firing, with layered vertical passages of deep crimson, forest green, indigo, and charcoal. The matte finish softens the color transitions and gives the piece an earthy, sophisticated restraint rather than gloss or sheen. The result is painterly yet architectural.

Solid and substantial in weight, this is not lightweight decor "” it has the density and presence of a true studio object.

At 14 inches tall, it offers strong vertical impact and reads beautifully on a pedestal, console, or within a curated bookcase installation. The integrated base enhances its sculptural continuity and allows it to function as a complete form rather than a decorative add-on.

Unsigned.

A compelling addition to modern, postmodern, and art-forward interiors.
