ATTRIBUTED TO IGNAZIO (1724-1793) AND FILIPPO COLLINO (1737-1800), A WHITE MARBLE PORTRAIT HEAD OF A YOUNG NOBLEWOMAN TURIN, CIRCA 1770 On a Breccia Violetta socle base 47cm high overall, 21cm wide, 19cm deep Provenance:Private collection, EnglandSold in these rooms, Tomasso, 30th October 2024, lot 74This bust presents stylistic similarities with the four busts representing Pomona, Ceres, a Naiad and a Nymph, by the brothers Ignazio and Filippo Collino circa 1770 for the Savoy's family luxurious hunting lodge, the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi. When comparing the busts, there's a strong resemblance in the delicate facial features that lend them a serene and graceful presence, and particularly in the lips betraying the slightest smiles. The sculptural detailing and surface texturing of the marble, which contrasts the smooth skin of her face with the undulating strands of hair resting on the shoulders, attest to both the exquisite artistry and the technical skill of the sculptor.
