Plaster and Wood Bust, Queen Elizabeth of Belgium (Princess of Bavaria) 1925

Bust of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium (1925)
Plaster and Painted Wood on Pedestal

An elegant and expressive plaster bust of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, born Duchess Elisabeth of Bavaria, wife of King Albert I and one of the most admired royals of the early 20th century. This sculpture, dated 1925, captures a stylized yet dignified likeness of the Queen, best known for her artistic patronage and humanitarian work during World War I.

The bust is rendered in plaster with a warm, natural patina, mounted on a painted wooden base in deep green with a striking faux-marble effect. Its profile is ideal from every angle—graceful, with sculptural detailing of curled hair and soft classical features. The piece has a calm nobility and serene presence, likely produced in Belgium or France during her reign.

A one-of-a-kind historical artifact, this sculpture brings both sculptural presence and European royal heritage into any refined interior.
