Catalogue Note

Cesare Lapini was one of a number of prominent sculptors working in Florence in the mid to late 19th century that specialized in marble groups of allegorical, genre and all'antica sculpture for tourists mainly from England and America. He ran a workshop, the Galleria Lapini, that was still operating in 1900.
