Lot Essay

This finely-cast bronze bust is a reduction of the portrait for which Ismail Pasha, Khedive of Egypt (d. 1895), himself sat and which was executed by Charles Cordier (d. 1905) on his first visit to Cairo in 1866. The original life-size marble version of the portrait, is now in the collection of the Musée du Palais de Manial.
