Description
The bust is in the form of a herma and was commissioned in 1827 by Karoline von Rehfues’s husband, the author Philip von Rehfues, who was 20 years her senior. The bust of the beautiful young woman is given a romantic touch in that she is portrayed with a garland of flowers in her long, curled coiffure.

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages. Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy! More on my creative journeys at: Website:
