Marble Bust of La Zingara, circa 1800
About the Item
Bust of the Zingara or Fortune Teller, finely carved out of marble. The Zingara is depicted with a cloth tied around her chin, which wraps around her elaborately braided hair and ends in a small lace with dot decoration. She is dressed in a draped cloth and a belt runs across her shoulder.
La Zingara, or the Fortune Teller, is inspired by an ancient sculpture that was in the Villa Borghese from the 17th century until it was moved to the Louvre by Napoleon. Now this "Egyptian Woman" can be found in the Museum of Versailles. The interpretation of this full-figure sculpture as a bust is attributed to different artists.
What is certain is that this type of bust enjoyed great popularity at the end of the 18th century. Very good, carefully cleaned condition.

- Pair of Antique Marble BustsLocated in Tyrone, Northern IrelandAn extremely well carved pair of Statuary Carrara marble busts on marble pedestals, by important sculptor Odoardo Fantacchiotti. Odoardo Fantacchiotti (11 May 1811–4 June 1877) was an Italian sculptor of the late-Neoclassic period. He was born in Rome, but his family moved to Florence. In 1820, he enrolled in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. At the Academy, he studied under S. Ricci, and first started exhibiting in 1828. Gaining the patronage of the Grand Duke, he continued his studies, following the ideas of Aristodemo Costoli of depicting the "bello naturale". In 1839 at the Academy, he exhibited the work of the Massacre of the Innocents. In 1840 he was named professor at the Academy. Among his public works are the statue of Boccaacio and dell'Accorso for the ground floor niches of the courtyard of the Uffizi, medallions commemorating Francesco Redi and the bust of Ferdinando II de Medici for the Museo della Specola, a statue of Sallustio Bandini (now at the Accademia dei Georgeofili, but initially planned for the loggia of the Uffizi.
