20: c. 1760

Artist:

Roubiliac, Louis François (1702/5-1762)[?]

Type and material:

Bronze relief : h: 23,6 cm

Date:

[probably ca.] 1760

Comments:

This bronze relief is at first glance similar to other works by Roubiliac executed during his last years. On the other hand, too little is known about this area of [his] work to be able to give a definite attribution and date to this piece. Similar ceramic pieces were produced in greater numbers.
