Description | There are several variants of the statue known from antiquity, and sevral casts available from an early date. It is not known which version Sarti had moulds of.
This was the second cast of this work acquired in London from Sarti. The first cast sent to Edinburgh failed due to poor quality plaster and this cast was acquired from P. Sarti as a replacement. Sarti was paid for supplying three casts on 9 February 1835; this shipment probably inculded this replacement cast. |
