專家說明
Hecker is primarily known for his execution of cameos, an art to which he playfully refers in this medal design, showing a figure in profile. The identification of the sitter as Künhans cannot be confirmed, although the profile does share some similarities with the other medal design in this lot, which identifies the sitters as Künhans and the numismatist Angelo Bottari.
Giuseppe Carlo Zucchi, who executed one of the other drawings in this lot, was a printmaker and the brother-in-law of Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807), of whom he wrote a biography.
