专家说明

Another bust of Voltaire (1694-1778), also by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt and originally from the d'Arenberg Palace (Brussels), is know in the Louvre (RF. 3064). Both sculpture bears very close stylistic comparison, the drapery and the treatment of the face being similar. However, in the Louvre version, Voltaire is represented with hairs in the antique manner with a laurel wreath instead of a peruke in the present.
