Neoclassical Female Portrait Bas-Relief Wall Plaque
This item is a white neoclassical-style bas-relief plaque featuring a profile portrait of a woman, likely a deity or allegorical figure such as Minerva or a Muse. The plaque is integrated onto a flat, textured surface, possibly a wall or door, finished in a light grey or off-white paint. The relief is rectangular with an oval interior frame containing the bust, accented by scrollwork filigree at the four corners. The figure is depicted with elaborate, draped clothing and a flowing, highly detailed hairstyle including a laurel-like headband. Above the relief is a black metal stylized numeral '1', suggesting this plaque serves as a decorative room or apartment identifier. The construction appears to be molded plaster or resin, subsequently painted. Condition-wise, the item shows visible brushstrokes from repainting, indicating it has been maintained in situ over time. There are minor imperfections and possible paint buildup in the finer details of the relief, but no major structural cracks are visible. The style is 20th-century revival of classical 18th-century aesthetics, often found in residential decor to provide an air of sophistication and historical weight.
