Ferdinando Vichi, the well established sculptor from the Florentine School, was associated with the prolific gallery of Pietro Barzanti. His compositions in alabaster and marble cover a range of subjects including works after the Antique, allegorical themes, and as in the following two lots, Orientalism. The pinnacle of his career was his involvement in the 1898 memorial erected in the cathedral of Santa Croce to honor the composer Gioacchino Rossini.
