Inscribed on the back: D. Brucciani, London

Domenico Brucciani(1815-1880) originally from Lucca ran a very successful business producing casts of sculptural works from international collections including those in the South Kensington Museum (now the V & A) and British Museum and then selling them commercially from his shop at 40 Russell Street known as the Galleria delle Belle Arti. The business capitalising on the 19thcentury fashion of having sculptural figures in the home continued until the 1st world war when the demand for plaster casts declined.
