Grand Tour Mounted Intaglio

A quietly compelling study in profile, this antique Grand Tour Intaglio captures the neoclassical elegance of a bygone era. Cast in pale plaster, the finely detailed relief depicts a woman in profile, her hair arranged in a classical coiffure and adorned with delicate ornamentation. Her poised expression and graceful silhouette reflect the enduring influence of ancient Roman and Renaissance portraiture. 

The medallion is housed within a refined gilt bezel and mounted against a warm oak panel, itself enclosed by a deeply toned ebonized wood frame with subtle beaded trim. The contrast between the dark frame, golden surround, and softly aged plaster creates a composition that feels both intimate and architectural.
