A fine neoclassical Poniatowski carnelian intaglio signed Dioscourides, set in a gold frame. The Sleep with a lion.
19th century.
Stone 23,5 x 36,5 mm; mounting 27 x 39,5 mm; 10,17 gr.
The personification of sleep, resting upon a couched lion. The animal is facing right, the young naked figure facing left. The scene is set inside a cave made from large rocks. An owl flies high, a symbol of the night. Below, the signature in greek letters: ΔΙΟΣΚΟΥΡΙΔΟΥ. Beautiful composition. The figures and the rocks are mirror polished with great skill. The gem is set in a 19th century gold frame.
