Queen Louise of Prussia, bronze bust with black patina
A dark bronze bust of a woman with her hair drawn back beneath a draped veil that falls over her shoulders. She wears a lace collar, a cord with a round medallion at the chest, and a fringed shawl. The smooth, polished patina gives the sculpture a sober, classical look.
