ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Riccardo Secchi (1871–1938) was an Italian sculptor celebrated for his portraiture, commemorative sculptures and public monuments. Working primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he became known for his expressive and naturalistic modelling, particularly in his depictions of prominent historical and cultural figures. His works include several important public monuments in Italy, notably in Reggio Emilia, reflecting his reputation as a sculptor of considerable technical skill and artistic sensitivity.
The three reliefs retain their aged plaster surfaces, with variations in colour, texture and finish. The oval portrait is housed within an antique moulded wooden frame, while the two circular reliefs are unframed.
Provenance: Acquired from the family home of direct descendants of Riccardo Secchi.
CONDITION
In Fair Antique Condition - Surface wear, discolouration, chips and losses to the plaster consistent with age. The circular portrait of the gentleman has a hairline crack extending through the plaster. The oval wooden frame displays wear and losses to its finish. Please refer to photographs.
