Bronze portrait bust of a man. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: H. 15 in. (38.1 cm). Date: ca. 50 B.C.-A.D. 54.For the Romans, bronze was the material par excellence for honorific portraits of important individuals and was valued for its ability to produce the closest possible fidelity to nature. While the identity of this man is unknown today, the very high quality of this portrait, with its sensitively modeled features and expensive inlaid eyes of ivory, signifies his prominence in ancient Roman society.

Bust of a young woman 1836 Jean-Pierre Dantan French Dantan mixed Neoclassical training with interests in caricature, phrenology, and fashionable society. Today he is best known as a caricaturist, although straightforward portraits comprise at least half his output. Occasionally they may have a mischievous undertone, but this young woman has an appreciable semblance of wit and sparkle even as she flaunts the latest hairstyle dubbed "à la Hortense Mancini". The plaster model for it is not among the trove of those by Dantan in the Musée Carnavalet, Paris.. Bust of a young woman 210670

Charles-Nicolas, baron Fabvier (1782-1855) 1829 Pierre Jean David d'Angers A soldier, revolutionary, ambassador, and statesman, Charles-Nicolas, baron Fabvier was celebrated for his distinguished role in supporting the Greeks in their War of Independence. No French citizen did more to support the revolution that eventually led to the formation of modern Greece. An officer in Napoleons army, which he joined in 1804, Fabvier was eventually dismissed from the army ranks as punishment for waging covert campaigns against the Bourbon regime in 1817 and 1823. After fleeing to England, he moved to Greece, where he aided the Greek government by establishing an army to counter the Ottoman forces. He became fluent in Greek and wore the foustanella, or pleated kilt, worn by Greek generals. His greatest victory was the defense of the Acropolis (1826), a battle which lasted four months and marked a decisive turning point in the war.David dAngers, admiring Fabviers conviction as a revolutionary an
