Madame La Trousse Ceramic Vase

Madame La Trousse Vase is a sculptural piece from the Le Vanitas di Versailles series that reflects on the fragility of aristocratic beauty and the fall of power during the French Terror. The anthropomorphic form depicts a court lady with a rough, pale grey unglazed body contrasted by the three necklaces featuring third firing gold. The elongated flared neck ends without a head, symbolizing the tragic fate of nobility, blending austere texture with striking luxury in a conceptual design.
