Head of a Muse, Bertolin Workshop, c. 1960s.

A refined mid-century study after the antique, this warm terracotta bust—produced by the Bertolin workshop of Munich—is mounted on a solid travertine cube. The serene, balanced features, softly modelled hair, and architectural stone base give the piece the quiet gravitas of a museum display while feeling perfectly at home in contemporary interiors.
