Sculpture

Elegant mid-century female bust sculpture by Henri Grailhe.
This work by the French sculptor—known for his sensitive figurative approach and essential forms—depicts a stylized female figure with soft, pure lines that convey both elegance and introspection.
Sculpted in chamotte clay with a black patina, the bust shows careful attention to proportion and silhouette, achieving a harmonious balance between realism and abstraction. The subtly textured surface enhances the play of light, giving the piece a quiet, timeless presence.
Signed on the back.

France, 1950s.
