About the Item
A fabulously hand carved antique neoclassical style Italian Carrara marble bust of Daphne. This bust is of immaculate quality and craftsmanship. Daphne's hair is beautifully hand carved with interlocking waves which terminate into a pony-tail. She is wearing nothing more than a headband, which parts the front section of her extremely life-like hair. Her facial characteristics also demonstrate the sculptors exceptional talents. With outstanding symmetry, her eyes are perfectly carved and in line with one another, while her nose and lips are of perfect proportions to a real person. A similar bust of Daphne can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by the famous American female sculptor Harriet Goodhue Hosmer.
According to Greek mythology, Daphne was the sun God Apollo's first love. She was a nymph who did not want to engage in the constructs of marriage and respected the sanctity of virginity.
Italy, circa mid-1800s.
