ART order NOUVEAU BUST "Celia" After Emanuel Villanis Metal Bronze Wash

I am not overly sure what to make of this bust. It is very good quality, greatly detailed, and possesses a wonderful patina but I believe it is a bronze wash as opposed to solid bronze. It is nonmetallic and stands approximately 11 1/2 inches tall. The back is signed Villanis and "Celia" appears cast on its base. I believe in the bronze world it would be described as "After Emmanuel Villanis" as it was not originally cast by him.

No matter - as it is a striking decorative item that would add a classic Art Nouveau pop to any room. Note that the plaque attached to order the marble base spells both the sculptor and bust names wrong.
