Description
Signed and dated in 1456. This extraordinary portrait of the scholar and physician who treated Donatello is the first signed work by Rossellino. Made six years before the sitter died, the bust is undoubtedly based on a life-mask. It epitomises Rossellino's mastery of carving marble and also the taste for realistic portrait busts that developed in Florence around this time.
