Jan Claudius de Cock

Jan Claudius de Cock (1667 - 1735).

 de Cock is first recorded as apprenticed in the studio of the sculptor Pieter I Verbruggen in Antwerp in 1683. After Verbruggen’s death in 1686, de Cock established himself in Antwerp and then in Breda where he was commissioned by William III, Stadholder of the Netherlands to work on sculpture for a courtyard in the town. From 1697/8 he is recorded in Antwerp where he appears to have had a large workshop.

Marble bust of a Boy

Height 36 cms

with medallion of Rudolf II

Sotheby's London 10 July 2014.

They say - This bust may be compared with the full-length figure of a young African prince in the Rijksmuseum fully signed by De Cock and dated 1704 (inv. no. BK-1972-134).

Other versions of this bust with different medallions can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no. A18-1913) and Temple Newsam House, Leeds. One was included in a Christie’s London sale on 29 April 1980, lot 55, and another appeared in a Sotheby’s Monte Carlo sale on 27 May 1980, lot 1167a. The different medallions may reflect the different interests of the patrons.
