Cartel
Bearing the inscription 1851, this terracotta is a sketch for the ivory sculpture sold by Triqueti to Sir Ivor Guerst in 1859, with a bronze seat, polished griotte marble plinth and ebony base. The emphasis given to the scene takes on a profoundly dramatic aspect through this interplay of materials.
