White Marble Bust Of An Italian Peasant Woman By J.Hutchison
By John Hutchinson
Located in Guaynabo, PR
This is a White Marble Bust of an Italian Young Woman by John Hutchison. It depicts a 19th century Italian peasant with her distinguishing costume. She has an expressive and large pair of eyes and a Roman nose. Her wavy hair is braided at each side and adorned with a head kerchief or fazzoletto with a tassel. She is embellished by a pair of drop earrings and a two strands necklace most likely made of Coral that was typical of that time. She is wearing a pleated shirt with embroidered flowers border. The bust is supported by a very small white marble column pedestal. It is also hallmarked J.Hutchison Rome, 1863 at the back. J.Hutchison (1832- 1910) was a Scottish sculptor who studied in Rome and later on returned to Edinburgh. He was an outstanding artist who received commissions from Queen Victoria.

Roman Marble Head of Sophocles
Located in London, GB
Roman Marble Head of Sophocles
Circa 1st-2nd Century
Marble
This fine Roman marble head preserves the proper left side of the face of a middle-aged man, with broad nose, soft lips, and bearded chin. The short beard and sideburns have been finely carved with a flat chisel, to render the soft, wavy strands of hair. The cheekbone, undereye, and nasolabial folds have been delicately modelled in the marble by a skilled hand. In a letter from 1975, the former director of Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, suggested that the head could depict the Ancient Greek tragedian Sophocles.
Few figures in the Classical world stand aside Sophocles (c. 496-406 BC), inarguably the best known of the Athenian tragedians, in terms of the impact his works have had on the history of art and literature. The psychological depth he achieves in the seven of the 123 of his plays that have survived to the present day - most notably the three Theban plays: Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Oedipus at Colonus - not only inspired the Athenians, among whom Sophocles was honoured as a hero long after his death, but in our own time, have provoked landmark works on phychoanalysis and literary criticism, by thinkers like René Girard and, most famously, Sigmund Freud. In its masterful treatment of the marble this fragment sensitively captures the features of one of the most important playwrights of all time.
Height on stand: 7.9 inches (20 cm).
