A neoclassical glass impression. Bust of Archer.
19th century
23 x 32 x 4 mm
The young archer is depicted with the torso completely seen from behind and the head turned to the left. The facial features, engraved with great finesse, recall the beautiful features of the young Octavian Augustus. The hair is engraved with great skill and equally detailed is the quiver placed on the shoulders in the foreground. Behind the shoulders, partially covered by a light tunic, the bow. The unusual specimen derives from an unpublished stone intaglio to be identified, currently dispersed and apparently devoid of references. Wear marks. Grand Tour Era production.
