L’inconnue de la Seine

Unknown

Biscuit porcelain wall mask depicting _L’inconnue de la Seine_, the legendary “Unknown Woman of the Seine.” Produced by Goebel in the 1930s, this finely crafted ceramic wall piece captures the ethereal beauty and tranquility of the original French mask, believed to have been cast from the face of an unidentified young woman found drowned in the River Seine around 1900. Her peaceful expression, with softly closed eyes and faint smile, inspired generations of artists, poets, and philosophers.
