This Art Deco work is by Salvatore Melani (1902-1934). This Italian artist has several sculptures in plaster, bronze and chryselephantine. His work reflects the time of the interbellum. This work is a bronze patina statue on a marble slab. Depicting a woman with a large black ball (or ball) and a dove (war and peace?).
The bronze statue itself is in very good condition.
Imperfections:
1. The marble plate on which the statue is mounted is quite rough and irregular on the underside, especially along the edges. It is unknown whether this was the case from the beginning or only developed later. The drawing in the marble is largely natural and curved and flows smoothly into the irregularities, it therefore appears to be a natural roughness. This roughness is more present at the back/bottom of the image than at the front/bottom. The plate itself is sufficiently sturdy and the top is almost intact. See also the photos.
2. The paint on the woman's face has some slight imperfections caused by time, which is more common in this type of the artist's work.
