19th C. Grand Tour Bronze Plaque – Classical Female Portrait – 61×42 mm 19th Century Grand Tour Bronze Plaque – Classical Female Portrait Dimensions: 61 × 42 mm Material: Bronze (not silvered) Origin: Europe, c. 1850–1890 Offered here is an authentic Grand Tour–period bronze plaque featuring a beautifully sculpted classical female bust in right-facing profile. The elegant drapery, hair arrangement, and refined Neoclassical proportions reflect the artistic taste of the mid–19th century, when travellers and scholars collected small bronze portrait studies inspired by the ancient world. This example is cast in solid bronze with a rich, naturally aged dark patina. An integrated suspension loop is cast as part of the piece — not added later — showing that the plaque was originally intended for display, possibly as part of a study cabinet or as a decorative element in a Grand Tour collection. The reverse is plain, with normal age-related surface texture, fully consistent with original 19th-century studio castings. ⸻ Highlights • Genuine 19th-century Grand Tour bronze plaque • Classical female portrait, highly desirable subject • Large decorative format: 61×42 mm • Original cast suspension loop • Beautiful untouched patina • Ideal for collectors of classical art, miniatures, bronze plaquettes, and Grand Tour pieces ⸻ Shipping Worldwide shipping included in the price.
