An exquisite bronze bust by French sculptor Isidore-Romain Boitel (1812–1886), dated 1855. This elegant figure captures a serene young woman with delicately modeled features, flowing hair, and classical drapery, showcasing Boitel’s refined neoclassical style and mastery of form. Set on a simple circular socle, the warm patinated surface highlights the sensitive rendering of her expression and graceful pose.

Boitel, a student of David d’Angers, exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1847 to 1868, gaining recognition for his portrait busts and allegorical figures. This piece exemplifies mid-19th-century French academic sculpture and would be a distinguished addition to any fine art collection or sophisticated interior.
