A carnelian intaglio set in a gold fob seal. Male grotesque portrait.
Mid 18th century.
Stone 17 x 20 mm; seal H. 25 mm; 5.76 gr.
Male head facing right, characterized by realistic and almost grotesque features, perhaps a caricature. The typology of the portrait recurs with variations in the graphic production of Pier Leone Ghezzi, also known for his extraordinary caricatures. This gem is likely inspired by this mid-18th century repertoire. Fine style. Work expertly polished. Attractive deep red color of the stone, mounted as a seal. Very good condition.
Provenance: UK private collection, from the art market.
