Description
A library bust similar to the bronze purchase by Lord Dumfries at a London sale in 1756 which can now be seen in Lord Dumfries' study at Dumfries House in Scotland.
This exquisite Haddonstone replica is taken from a fine bronze created in 1889 by the renowned Sabatino de Angelis of Naples. The Sabatino edition was created from an antique excavated in 1754 from the atrium of the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum having been buried in volcanic ash following the infamous eruption of Vesuvius in AD79.
The original bust is now displayed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples. This bust would make a charming addition to a garden or an interior such as a hall, drawing room or library.
