About the Item
This elegant 19th-century plaster bust represents Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the powerful Minister of Finances under Louis XIV, and is executed after the renowned model by Antoine Coysevox (1640–1720).

It features:
– Exceptionally detailed curls characteristic of Coysevox’s Baroque portraiture
– A deeply sculpted lace jabot
– Richly modelled drapery across the chest
– A star-and-dove emblem on the shoulder
– Mounted on a painted plaster base imitating colored marble
