Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Parian marble with crystals, Head of a Girl, Roman copy of a Greek head of the school of Praxiteles placed on an antique bust of Roman workmanship of the third century AD which is too large for it. The marble head is that of a young girl with the hair drawn from the forehead in waved locks and fastened into a small flat bow at the back, with two small locks falling onto the cheeks just in front of the ears.
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. |
