Catalogue Note
The celebrated ancient Roman marble vase on which this model is based was discovered in fragments in 1771 in the ruins of Hardian's villa near Tivoli by the Scottish artist and antiquary, William Hamilton. After restoration, it was sold to Hamilton's nephew, George, Early of Warwick and is now in the Burrell collection in Glasgow.
