Martin Meytens the younger
Size option 5cm high
The bust, on the reverse, has an opening. Although not visible on display with the bust facing forward you might consider this added feature significant and could provide a secret space to hide letters or possessions
The item is supplied unpainted and in an off white almost alabaster type resin finish. It will be supplied ready for tidying which will mean small nodules will need to be sanded or snapped off - this is super easy to do and takes just a minute or two.
"The sculptor Cousin was one of the French artists hired for the palace works. The casual style of dress, with unbuttoned shirt, suggests this is an artist portrait, perhaps of a colleague on the palace site. The bust was previously believed to be of the painter Martin van Meytens the Younger, but he had already left the country when Cousin arrived in 1737. The style of the work is unusually realistic for the period." ref Nationalmuseum Sweden
