Superb small bust of the young Louis XIV in slightly patinated white plaster, antique/vintage from the 1930s-1950s, after the model created around 1666 by Pierre Gole based on designs by Charles Le Brun for the Palace of Versailles. The original, made for the War and Peace Cabinets, was unfortunately stolen in 1922. 23 cm high, approximately 18 cm wide and 9-10 cm deep, a lovely decorative piece from the 20th century, finely modeled, with an expressive face, wearing his laurel wreath, long curly hair typical of the "Grand Siècle" style, richly ornamented and draped armor, the details are fine and elegant. In very good overall condition with some minor wear, tiny chips and discreet imperfections, a small loss on the right side of the nose, and a patina tinted with age, giving it a very authentic appearance. Approximately 1 kg.
