Northern Europe, Neoclassical period, ca. 18th to early 19th century CE. A handsome amber hued glass intaglio depicting a bust of Alexander the Great - presented with a youthful appearance, strong features, and a wavy coiffure - the intaglio nicely wrapped in a black leather strip. The Neoclassical period saw immense interest in the Classical world, in part inspired by the budding science of archaeology. Artists looked to the past for inspiration, yet also brought an imaginative sensibility to their depictions. Size: 1.55" W x 1.8" H (3.9 cm x 4.6 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
