A distinguished 19th century Italian white porcelain sculpture by Capodimonte, representing Monarchy or Sovereign Authority. Crafted in Italy during the 19th century, this elegant porcelain work exemplifies the skill and artistry associated with Capodimonte, one of Italy’s most celebrated porcelain manufactories.

The sculpture bears the iconic “Crowned N” mark of Capodimonte, confirming its origin and authenticity. The crisp white porcelain highlights the delicate modeling of the figure, from the folds of her robes to the serene, authoritative expression on her face. It stands about Height 16 inches, Width 5 inches, Depth 5 inches. This sculpture is in excellent condition, free of damage or repairs, and is a compelling decorative piece as well as a collectible example of Capodimonte porcelain and 19th century European Neoclassical artistry.
