An early 20th century plaster cast and mounted death mask of a gentleman c.1900
A striking and evocative display featuring a plaster death mask, believed to date to the turn of the century. This finely detailed cast captures the serene features of the gentleman, offering a rare glimpse into historical memorial practices.
The mask is mounted within a wooden and ebonised frame, set behind a glazed convex dome and backed with rich, ruffled velvet—creating a dramatic presentation. A small brass plaque affixed to the frame reads 'Het is volbracht' - Dutch for 'It is finished' - A quiet, poignant reminder that time is finite.
A truly eye-catching and conversation-starting piece with timeless appeal.
