Pre-1900 With the Earliest Paint Style [SOLD]

This is a wonderful example of early sculpting and early painting. The cheeks appear to sport a beard and the hair is unusually long on its head. It appears that the head has been broken off and reattached, and the right arm and both legs have been glued. Still, it is an excellent example of early work.
