This antique bust represents the 17th century Italian painter Salvator Rosa. Because of his stately posture, posing with his hat, sword, palette and brushes, the bust has a very powerful appearance!
It was signed on the side with the name A. Picault, which to me is a little confusing because the original design was made by a famous French sculptor Émile Louis Picault (E. Picault). Whether the sculpture is original, a later reproduction or possibly made by a relative I do not know. In any case, the bust is of high quality and very beautiful!
It would be the perfect piece to display in your collection or classic style interior!
After a century the bust still remains in good condition! The bronze acquired a nice brown patina which only adds more charm to it in my eyes! Some numbers have been scratched in the bottom edge on the back.
