專家說明

The present watercolour, like the previous lot, was executed late in the artist's career and presents a picturesque capriccio of sculptures which Robert had studied during his period in Rome. From left to right the statues include a moumental marble krater, perhaps that at the Campo Santo in Pisa (P. Bober & R. Rubinstein, Renaissance Artists & Antique Sculpture, London, 1986, no.91); a monumental foot, perhaps intended to be that of Constantine in the Capitoline Museum, Rome; and one of the two Dioscori, inscribed 'OPUS/PRAXITELIS'.
