Grand Marble Bust of Omphale with Hercules' Lion Skin – Amsterdam, c. 1740
About the Item
This exceptional, larger-than-life bust is an impressive work in Carrara marble, crafted in Amsterdam around 1740. It depicts Omphale, the Lydian queen, identifiable by Hercules’ lion skin which she wears – a symbol of her mythological dominion over him.
The craftsmanship of this Dutch bust is of the highest quality, with finely executed details in the marble, from Omphale’s facial features to the texture of the lion skin. The condition of the piece is in excellent condition.
Such a monumental bust creates a powerful artistic and historical presence. It is an ideal acquisition for a prominent position in a classical or contemporary interior, a grand reception hall, a library, or as a central object within an art collection.
