I’m working through Modelling & Sculpting the Human Figure by Edouard Lanteri. This bust is used as the example for sculpting the head. Lanteri is working from a plaster copy of the original.
On pg. 39 he gives the title as ‘The Lawyer’ by Donatello. I haven’t been able to find this sculpture attributed to Donatello.
For the earlier examples he’s using Michaelangelo’s David and I’ve been able to print my references. I was hoping to find a model of this sculpture as well.
Can anyone please give me more information?
The sculpture pictured is paysan by eduard lanteri
I couldn’t say more about it than that
The Peasant is actually a different bust than this one. Note the collar of the robe on this sculpture.
That bust is featured a little later in the book as an example of sculpting from life.
