About the Item

Raised on an olive velvet base. Dimensions include the base. Portraiture is often seen as the quintessential Renaissance art form, and clay was used increasingly during the 15th century to produce life-like busts. It was an ideal medium to make models for portraits in other materials. Most finished clay portraits would have been painted to appear more realistic. The nineteenth century was marked by an array of revival styles, including the Renaissance, of which this bust is a wonderful example.
