Description
Italian school of the late 16th - early 17th century
Head of a Roman emperor, probably Titus
Marble
H. 49 cm
This antique-style head could be a continuation of the work of Agostino Zoppo (circa 1520 - 1572), a sculptor in Padua in the mid-16th century, where he ran a prolific workshop, notably producing bronzes, some of which are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert, the Metropolitan and the Frick Collection.
For a marble sculpture by Zoppo, see the Bust of guido of Arezzo sold at Sotheby's in Milan on 22 March 2023, lot 33. We can see a certain similarity in the way the artist works on the complexions and pupils.
Provenance :
Sotheby's sale, London, 28 September 1979, lot 104
