1855. Carrara marble
Torreggiani, a specialist in portrait busts, wanted to break completely with official tradition and impress Queen Isabel II with this spectacular technical feat. The queen’s face is veiled, a device recalling the veiled images of Faith, Virtue and Religion. Torreggiani also produced the pedestal on which the bust rests. Signed and dated.
