About the Item

A plaster model signed Suzanne and dated 1792 was part of the David-Weill collection and was sold in Paris on November 23, 2012, Lot 123, by Auction Art (Remy Le Fur). It is known that in July 1792 Suzanne made plaster models of Rousseau, Voltaire and Mirabeau at the Assemblée Législative. Provenance: Estate of Dr. Paul J. Vignos Jr. Dr. Vignos was a life trustee of The Cleveland Museum of Art.

19th Century Cesare Beccaria Bronze Sculpture
Located in Milan, IT
19th Century. Cesare Beccaria Bronze, 49 x 13 x 15 cm The bronze statue examined faithfully reproduces the famous Milanese monument by Giuseppe Grandi (1843-1894) dedicated to Cesare Beccaria.
