Abstract

Veronica Zauli Guarini has called in vain on Thorvaldsen to hear whether he will execute her bust in marble, and how long it will take. If it is not possible, she just wants to know what she owes him for the plaster bust and asks him to send it to her.

Document

Sigr: Torvalsen Revmo:

Per due volte sono stata al suo Studio, per sentire se Ella voleva eseguirmi in Marmo il mio Busto^I, e a che eppoca potrei lusingarmi di averlo, diversamente desidero sapere cosa le devo per il Busto in Gesso, che favorirà in questo caso mandarmi.
Mi protesto.

Commentaries

Denne buste kendes i dag hverken i gips eller marmor, jf. også Sass op. cit., men brevet her tyder kraftigt på, at i det mindste en gipsbuste på dette tidspunkt var udført.
