GILLES LAMBERT GODECHARLE (1750 - 1835)
Gilles Lambert GODECHARLE (1750 - 1835)
Bust of Laurent Delvaux (1696 - 1778), 1824
sculpture in patinated plaster. Signed and dated on the back, titled in front LAURENTIUS DELVAUX / SCULPTOR.
Note: The Musées Royaux des Beaux Arts de Bruxelles holds a similar bust under number 1824 - Inv. 452. There was talk of the museum purchasing an identical bust of Delvaux from the sculptor's widow in 1836, but this did not happen. It is plausible that our bust is this one, as its dimensions are identical.
Note 2: This bust is the only known sculpted portrait of the artist.
