A black basalt bust of Admiral Lord Duncan, circa 1805

Item Details

Description

A black basalt bust of Admiral Lord Duncan, circa 1805
Modelled in military uniform and gazing left, the plinth base incised 'DUNCAN' below naval trophies of war, 19.5cm high
Footnotes:
A similar but slightly larger bust in buff-coloured stoneware is marked 'Herculaneum' and is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, inv. no. 414:1119-1885. Although black basalt wares were produced at Herculaneum it is possible the mould was used by another contemporary factory explaining the slightly smaller scale of the present lot. It has been suggested that Pierre Stephan was responsible for the modelling of both the busts of Duncan and Jervis, see also lot 4 in this sale.

Condition

There is a small, very shallow chip to the underside of the base at one corner, approximately 0.6cm wide. Otherwise, in good condition save for some minute and insignificant nicks to the sharp edges of the plinth base.
