Lot 106
This cast plaster figure was made by the well regarded firm P.P. Caproni & Brother of Boston, Massachusetts soon after the turn of the 20th century. Pietro Paulo Caproni and his brother Emilio specialized in producing cast renderings of classical, medieval and modern statuary. Company literature stated that Caproni reproductions were modeled after "the choicest subjects in the Museums of Europe", and went on to assert that "The leading Art Museums, the best judges of quality in plaster casts, commend our work as foremost in this country." Caproni pieces are held in the collections of museums and universities including Harvard, Yale and Princeton as well as in Boston's Symphony Hall, whose upper level contains 16 Caproni reproductions. Bottom has a brass plaque stamped P.P Caproni & Bro. Boston, Caproni Casts. Numbered C-241 on the bottom and stamped 1525 on the side.
