Description Provenance Exhibitions Bibliography

The present plaster shows a cow and calf. The group had been exhibited at the Esposizione Annuale della Permanente in 1890 (L. Chirtani , in Il Corriere della Sera, 22-23 May 1890, p. 2). For the affinities in style and subjects depicted, the present plaster should be dated around 1886 and 1889, at the very start of Troubetzkoy’s career.

Paul Troubetzkoy (1866-1938), Italy, until 1938;
By descent to the heirs, Rhoda Muriel Marie Somerwell and Luigi Troubetzkoy;
