https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/shane-meredith-antiquesAfter a model attributed to Jean Antoine Houdon, possibly Nicolas Joseph Laurent Gilbert (1750 - 1780), poet.
Superbly sculpted in a coat and ruffled shirt set on a waisted socle. The rear of the bust showing the sculptor's thumb-prints where he has worked the clay.
A beautiful and atmospheric late C18th bust.
