Gypsum Plaster bas-relief disc sculpture - man's portrait, in profile, facing right. Signed Emile Vouga (listed Swiss artist), circa turn of the century. Framed in Montreal, also 1890s - early 1900s, in period wooden 17 1/4" square frame under glass.
Do not confuse with Emilie Vouga - a woman artist who specialized in botanical drawings. This one is Emile Vouga and not Emilie.
At this time I am seeing two art works by this artist offered for sale elsewhere - both landscape paintings. One listed here at US$805:

another here at US$794:

Both above listings bear the same signature - see for yourself.
A masterfully done original antique artwork and very reasonably priced.
