Meet Beatrice, a large, haunting 1920's bust I found at an antique faire recently. She was Dante's love interest way back when and inspired many of his famous writings throughout his life even though they both married other people. She was previously owned by Charles Gerhardt, famous conductor and producer who conducted many famous classic film scores including Star Wars. She was purchased from his estate sale after his death in 1999. Bittersweet!

Holy gorgeous....
I love beatrice! I've never seen one like her. Another treasure.
Just dropped in by chance from "The Enchanted Room" and I have to say I adore your job! You are living a haunting life! Luv the Fortune Teller and just about all that you have collected of the macabre; could easily be from a Hammer Horror film setting.
