Lot Essay

The present terracotta is after Michelangelo's famous marble figure of Moses in the church of S. Pietro in Vincoli, Rome. Michelangelo's sculptures have always been popular and smaller scale copies in various materials, such as bronze and terracotta, have been made almost from the moment he executed them. The present cast is an example of such a copy, probably made for the private contemplation of a connoisseur.
