Description

Gold brooch adorned with a Renaissance cameo. Venus and Cupid. Beautiful cameo in Renaissance-era sardonyx. Classic subject of Venus and Cupid, in a country setting (in the same style of composition as a cameo of the Alexandrian engraver Sostratos, 1st century BC, kept in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg). Very high quality of execution and very pleasant subject for this Renaissance cameo, in very beautiful condition, despite a small burst in the cameo, at the head of Venus. Very nice condition with Golden Mount, circa 1830. Italian work (probably Milan) of the second half of the 16th century for the cameo.
