Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Parian marble (very fine grained), Empress Anna Galeria Faustina the elder (d.141), Roman, 2nd Century. A portrait bust of the Empress Faustina as a young woman in the zenith of her beauty. The head is turned to the right with the gaze directed upward with soft wavy hair drawn simply back from the face and arranged in plaits on the crown of the head.
Collected by Charles, 2nd Earl of Egremont, thence by descent, until the death in 1952 of the 3rd Lord Leconfield, who had given Petworth to the National Trust in 1947, and whose nephew and heir, John Wyndham, 6th Lord Leconfield and 1st Lord Egremont (1920-72), arranged for the acceptance of the major portion of the collections at Petworth in lieu of death duties (the first ever such arrangement) in 1956 by H.M. Treasury. |
