Description

A carnelian intaglio set in a gold ring. Male portrait.

18th century.

Stone 16 x 19 mm; ring size 14 x 16,5 mm; 9,70 gr.

The figure is facing left, with the head in profile and the bust in front. The shoulders are wrapped in a cloak with raised stitching. The pose and features are reminiscent in some aspects of the portraits of the English poet Lord Byron (1788-1824). This fine portrait is carved deeply into the gem, with great skill. Certainly it is to be identified with a character from the Grand Tour Era. Attractive stone color and slight wear marks.
