ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The bust is attributed to Riccardo Secchi (1871–1938), an Italian sculptor recognised for his portraiture and public monuments. As Secchi died in 1938, an original model by the artist would necessarily date from before Badoglio's appointment as prime minister. An interesting example of Italian interwar commemorative sculpture, combining a historically significant subject with expressive portrait modelling.
Provenance: acquired from the family home of direct descendants of Riccardo Secchi.
CONDITION
