Not on view

Thirteen known versions of this subject were executed in plaster and marble by Canova and his workshop between 1819 and 1823. Said to closely resemble a Hellenistic bust of a woman in Naples, the so-called Zingarella, which was well-known by the eighteenth century and which may portray a dancer.
