Primavera 1890 - 1892

Herbert Adams's "Primavera" (1890-1892) is a marble bust of a young woman, characterized by a serene expression and a simple yet elegant design. The bust features a gold headband and a teal-colored bodice, highlighting the soft, white marble of the sculpture. The name "Primavera" is inscribed on a plaque on the base of the bust, a reference to the Italian word for "spring." The work exemplifies Adams's talent for capturing the beauty of the human form in a classic and timeless manner.
