Description Provenance Bibliography

In 1893 Troubetzkoy participated in the Annual Exhibition of the Permanente, presenting a study for the monument to Dante and the present plaster, which depicts the actress Emilia Varini. The sculptor worked on the present plaster when Emilia Varini was twenty six years old. Troubetzkoy provides a youthful image of Verini, long before her debut in D’Annunzio’s theatre.
