Bronze bust of an unknown woman

myminifactory

The clothing and distinctive features of this woman suggest that the sculptor prioritized realism above all else. There's nothing to indicate she was particularly affluent, in contrast to those who commissioned the bust, which were clearly wealthy patrons. As such, it appears the artist chose his model and likely wasn't paid for this work by her, or at least not directly. Her genuine soft expression and casual attire further imply that the artist aimed to capture a fleeting moment from a working-class woman's daily life.
