Description

Neoclassical cameo of a youth with hair-band, agate, 21 x 18 mm. This resembles a depiction of Apollo without distinctive signs, but it is in fact a copy of a pre-1787 female head on yellow carnelian – a Daughter of Niobe – by Nathaniel Marchant (1739-1816). This muse was copied from the Albani Aphrodite in the Museo Capitolino. See: Lucia Pirzio Biroli Stefanelli, La Collezione Paoletti. Stampi in vetro per impronte di intaglio e cammei, vol. II, Roma 2012, p. 30, no. V-96.
