Terracotta Bust of Beethoven, Signed A. Mazoyer, Late 19th/Early 20th Century

Perfectly capturing the vibrant character of composer Ludwig van Beethoven, the last great representative of Viennese Classicism, this terracotta sculpture is in pristine condition. Romain Rolland said of him, “He is much more than the foremost musician. He is the most heroic force in modern art.” As such, this terracotta bust pays him a beautiful tribute.
