拍品專文

This large, early 19th century replica, including the Michelangelo designed base, was cast by Roman founders Wilhelm Hopfgarten and Benjamin Jollage. After Jollage’s death in 1837, identical versions of this model were signed by Hopfgarten alone and, later, by Hopfgarten and various partners. That this model is unsigned suggests it was cast in the earlier 1830s.
