    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Is it terracotta? Measurements, please? People made/make copies of famous works and did originals as well, around 1900 it was very popular. An example (supposedly an actual Rodin, but it shows you the look the models had/have)...

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Consistent with the sizes of the models I was thinking of...

    I read the writing as "Bella" or "Belle" or "Della"... maybe the woman's name? Or artist???

    EDIT
    I suppose that this may have been a study for a larger statue... might explain lack of signature, but the subject's name... I searched but couldn't find a larger version.
