Beschreibung

An onyx cameo, by A. Berini, mounted in a gold brooch. Portrait of a noblewoman from the napoleonic period, in profile to the left, signed BERINI (Antonio Berini, 1770-1861) along the neck profile. The portrait bust is characterized by a greek profile, a small mouth and an elaborate hairdo, an can be identified with a member of the Royal Family from the Bourbons (see Effigy of Maria Luisa di Borbone- Parma, Queen Consort of Spain, 1751-1819; Maria Luisa di Borbone, Queen of Etruria and Duchess of Lucca, 1782-1824). The thick hair is held on the front by a diadem, and by two bands on the top, while, on the back, it's tightened by an accessory of a net-like texture, following the style of the ancient heads. Refined work, soft in the anatomical volumes and careful in the physiognomic research, with a certain expressive elegance. The work can be dated between the end of the 18th century and the first decade of the 19th circa.
Intaglio 19 x 26 x 5 mm; brooch 23 x 30 mm ; gr. 5,40.
