About the Item

Vintage bust or sculpture features female head in unlacquered bronze, screw mounted on black patinated or ebonized wooden plinth. The sculpture is unmarked and is missing the paper stickers, but it can be attributed to Nguyen Thanh Le by comparing with the well documented body of the work available at veritable online and printed sources. The sculpture stands 10.38" tall with the plinth. Sculpture without the plinth measuring 6.7" high. It is in very good vintage condition with beautiful, age-appropriate patina on bronze. Nguyen Thanh Le (1919 – 2006) was a prolific Vietnamese artist, who worked in the former Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. He was known for his series of busts depicting women from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia; many of his bronzes were brought back to the USA by military personnel who served in Vietnam during the war years. The elegant, refined form, high quality craftsmanship, and traditional Art Deco style with Modernist influence will make the sculpture a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Eclectic, Transitional, Mid Century Modern, Glam, Hollywood Regency, Collected, or Contemporary.
