A Fast Woman: a female racing driver from the 1920's.... This fine quality Italian alabaster bust by #GiustoViti is remarkable in its subject; a female racing driver from the early 20th century. 🏎🏎. A dynamic piece that somehow communicates a feeling of the thrill of speed, the steering wheel and driving goggles adding to the drama of the moment. Who is she? One fabulous female racer was Maria Antonietta Avanzo, Italian, and active in racing in the 1920’s-30’s..... another that looked a lot like this was the French woman #HelléNice was a remarkable French driver of the 1930’s. She was a dancer, a model... and a racing car driver! She drove fast cars, and had a fast life.... whoever she is, we’re loving having her as our latest addition to our stock at Moorabool. It’s a great piece of sculpture that makes you smile in reply to her joyful grin .... as she slips off-centre to her sockle, from the G-forces of cornering no doubt- can’t you imagine the wind in your hair as you take to the road in an open top racing type 13 #Bugatti….? #mooraboolantiques #moorabool_antiques #geelong #antiques #antiquesaustralia #aaada #antiqueshop #antiquedealersofinstagram #antiquesarecool #antique_interior #interiordesign #decorating #centralgeelong #GeelongAntiques #VisitGeelong #VisitGeelongBellarine #SpeedyGirl #RacingGirl #1920’s #goggles #retroRacer #speedtrial #vintageauto #vintagecar #antiquecar (at Moorabool Antique Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUKwoZH6Tn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eibfp1mzgyde
