Sold
This lot comprises three assorted sculptural busts of varying materials and styles. The first is a hollow-cast glazed ceramic head featuring a minimalist facial structure and high-gloss creamy-white glaze. The surface is decorated with a line-art graphic of a dragon winding through clouds, extending across the face and cranium. A handwritten mark in black ink is located on the lower right side of the face. The second is a modernist male portrait head, hollow-cast in white plaster with a rough, expressionistic texture. The subject is depicted with the head tilted back and features deeply modelled facial details. The third is a classical-style bust of a youth with curly hair. The piece is finished with a weathered pale green and ochre patina to simulate aged stone and is self-supporting on an integral base.

Condition report:
A single chip is visible on the interior edge of the base rim of the ceramic head (photo 7). The white plaster bust displays numerous surface pits and small casting voids inherent to the material, alongside minor chips to the edges of the base (photo 4). The classical bust shows heavy surface weathering and intentional discoloration to the patina, with small chips and losses to the tips of the hair curls and along the base edges (photo 2).
