A finely modeled bust in the Neoclassical style, after 18th-century French sculptor Augustin Pajou. This early 20th-century reproduction from the Belle Epoque revival period, captures the grace and sensitivity typical of Pajou's portraiture. Signed "Pajou" to the reverse, with a warm patinated finish and classical presentation. Likely French, circa 1900.

The signature "Pajou" refers to Augustin Pajou (1730-1809), one of the most renowned French sculptors of the 18th century, celebrated for his portraits and refined Neoclassical busts. The sculpture depicts a young child or young aristocrat, 18th-century in style, with detailed period clothing and a gentle, contemplative expression.
