Life-Size 19th Century Carrara Marble Bust of a Roman

About the Item

A dynamic, life-sized marble bust of a Roman in a toga with a leopard’s head clasp, raised on a variegated grey socle. Mid-19th century. This impressive antique bust of an - as yet to be identified - Roman, is in good condition. Some tentative comparisons have been made to Caracalla, also known as Antoninus. Possibly a ''Grand Tour'' item. The Grand Tour was an extended excursion to the Continent undertaken by English gentlemen to enhance their appreciation of the culture of the main European cities such as Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, etc. Often antiquities and replicas were brought back to England to form collections. Measures: H 72 cm (28 1/2") D 33 cm (13') W 46 cm (18'). Stock ref: BHA 1090.

  • Late 17th Century Oil Portrait of a Lady
    Located in Lymington, GB
    An oil on canvas portrait of a young French courtier, circa 1690. This evocative antique French school picture has been attributed to the portrait painter Jean-François de Troy (1679-1752). De Troy was famous as a portrait painter of fashionable society women. This is a very attractive late 17th century painting surviving in its original frame and stretcher. The canvas appears to be untouched. References: 'Jean François de Troy, The Alarm, or the Gouvernante Fidèle', at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
