LOT 1574
A Staffordshire pearlware figure, probably Enoch Wood, early 19th century, modelled as Cleopatra or Ariadne reclining on rockwork, a serpent coiled around her left arm, raised on a rectangular pseudo marbled base, unmarked, length 31.5cm (minor faults). Note: This model is taken from a statue in the Courtyard of Statues (Cortile delle Statue) at the Vatican. Because the statue has a bracelet in the form of a serpent it was believed to represent Cleopatra, but in the 1700s Ennio Quirino Visconti recognised the original statue as depicting Ariadne.
Estimate: £80 – £120
