Description

A very fine onyx cameo set in a gold and enamel brooch. Female bust signed Girometti.


Early 19th century


Stone 19 x 26 mm; mounting 29 x 37 mm; 11,28 gr.


Splendid female portrait, probably of a Muse, signed and engraved by Giuseppe Girometti (Italian, Rome 1780–1851 Rome). The figure is turned to the right, and is characterized by an extremely finely engraved hair, comparable to the best works of the Italian engraver. The profile is typically neoclassical and is characterized by a passage of the various volumes / anatomical details performed with great art. The two-layer stone is mounted in a precious 18k gold brooch decorated with chiseled palmettes and parts in dark blue enamel. Very good condition.
