The King and Queen of Abyssinia. Patinated bronze. First half of the 19th century.
22.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 cm
Pair of small library busts mounted on lacquered wooden bases.
Exotic subjects, they depict the king and queen of Abyssinia, obviously dating back to the classical era, given the draperies and highly original hairstyles. The king's hairstyle, in particular, features curls on his forehead and neck, tied with ribbons that fall to his shoulders.
Refined and decorative castings with beautiful patina.
