A fine carnelian intaglio by Pichler. Head of Ceres. 18th - 19th century. 19 x 25 x 4 mm. Head of Ceres, facing left, signed Pichler in greek. Chip with lack on the edge. The work can be attributed, as Paoletti refers for an almost identical intaglio, to Giuseppe Pichler: in the "Sessione 4, Opere di Giuseppe Pichler" in the Paoletti casts, there is a head of "Cerere Dea dell'Agricoltura", inv. MR 26760 n. 123 tomo V, with exactly the same head but with a draped bust (carnelian intaglio). Several others versions exist, all with variants. Giuseppe, alias Johann Joseph Pichler, was born in Rome in 1760. He was the son of the second wife of Antonio Pichler (1697-1779) and half-brother of the more famous Giovanni who initiated him into the family art. Very fine style. Parallel: L.P. B. Stefanelli, La Collezione Paoletti, vol. 2, p. 33 n. 123.
