A French biscuit bust of Marie Antoinette 19th century

after the marble model by Felix Lacomte, on a blue-ground socle and base, incised interlaced Ls.

There is some very minor and very occasional abrasion-like chipping on the edges of her hair. There is restoration to the lower edge of her medallion, which is difficult to spot. There is a short, approximate 1-inch firing-related fine crack to the edge of her cloak on her right side. The tassel on her right is restored. The dark blue stem and base has a bubbly appearance, caused by firing and there are several minuscule chips to the edge of the base.
