Beschrijving
Alexander Danilovich Menshikov is a wooden bust of the military commander, with finely detailed armour, a fluttering jabot and an extravagantly combed wig around a smoothly burnished face. His direct gaze is emphasised by the scooped edge of the cuirass, while the head turns slightly against the flow of the lace cravat, giving a sense of movement. The breastplate is engraved with scenes of Alexander the Great at the tent of King Darius and the Justice of Trajan, and medallions on the shoulder pieces show Alexander, Trajan, Livia Drusilla and Plotina.
Made to order and hand-finished in the Netherlands. Choose from 11 sizes, from a 7 cm miniature to a 48 cm statement piece, in marble white, gold, bronze or any colour you like.
