Marble Relief

Signed L. Delvaux

37.5 x 33.3cms.

 

This relief is of lesser quality than the terracotta and marbles illustrated below - it is a fairly close copy of the terracotta or marble but to my eye by a much less skilled sculptor.

 

Believed to have been discovered in a patch of nettles at Gosberton near Spalding, Lincolnshire.

"In 1732 Delvaux went to Brussels, taking with him a letter of recommendation from Pope Clement to the Habsburg regent of the Southern Netherlands, the Arch-Duchess Marie-Elisabeth. Shortly afterwards, on 28 January 1733, he was appointed her court sculptor, but in 1733 he also visited London for two months, taking with him a marble bust of Caracalla, ‘A fine and Just imitation… done by him at Rome’ (Vertue III, 66)".
