Lot Essay


The marble original of this model was excavated in 1792 on Prince Borghese's property at Gabii, outside Rome, by Gavin Hamilton. It was purchased by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807, and was displayed in the Louvre, Paris, where it has remained (inv. MR154). Today, the marble is actually believed to be a replica of Greek marble attributed to Praxiteles, created circa 330 B.C. for the Acropolis, Athens.
