Queen Marie of Romania by Frederic Storck

3D Model

This patinated terracotta bust portrays Queen Marie of Romania with a refined elegance characteristic of Frederic Storck’s mature sculptural style. The artist captures the queen’s noble presence through a harmonious balance of realism and idealization, emphasizing both her strength and her grace. Queen Marie’s face is modeled with soft yet well‑defined features: a calm, introspective expression, gently arched eyebrows, and a composed gaze that projects dignity. Her hair is arranged in broad, stylized waves, a hallmark of her iconic appearance in early 20th‑century portraiture. The bust was made in the first quarter of the 20th century. Today, the work is preserved and exhibited at the Frederic Storck and Cecilia Cuțescu‑Storck Museum, a historic house museum dedicated to the artistic legacy of the Storck family.
