France, Female portrait, a uniface bronze medallion by René Gregoire, c. 1900, draped head of a young woman, turned half left, with pouting lips, her neck and one shoulder exposed, foliage in the distance, 109mm. Extremely fine, softly and sensitively modelled (£80-100)

An unusual study: the artist has cleverly portryed his model in such a way as to evoke the knowing sensuality of the femme fatale of 19th century romantic art and literature.
