Pietro Bazzanti (Italy, 1825–1895) After – Bust of Diana of Versailles

Descriptio Carved white marble. Measurements: 138 × 36 × 26 cm. Female bust inspired by the celebrated type of the Diana of Versailles, with the head turned to one side, the hair gathered and held in place by a ribbon, and the torso covered by a tunic arranged in deeply carved folds. The composition follows classical models reinterpreted during the 19th century, combining idealized anatomy, purity of line and a particularly careful treatment of the hairstyle and drapery. The work reflects the Neoclassical and Historicist taste promoted by Italian workshops such as that of Pietro Bazzanti, renowned for producing sculptures inspired by Antiquity for the international collecting market. Condition: good overall, with signs of age consistent with the period.
