About the sculpture
This bronze statuette representing a seated woman is sometimes also known as Andromeda. It is made after Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi, also calle Antico.
Several varying examples are known. The statuette appears to have been popular in the Renaissance as a pendant to the Spinario.
Antico (Pier Jacopo di Antonio Alari-Bonacolsi) (ca. 1460-1528) was an Italian sculptor and goldsmith. He was nick-named Antico, because in his work he related heavily to Antiquity. He re-created small scale statuettes of famous antique examples. He was active at the Gonzaga court at Mantua and made many bronzes for the court, notably for Ludovico, Bishop of Mantua and Isabella d'Este, wife of Francesco II Gonzaga, 4th Marchese of Mantua. He was also a restorer of antique statues and an adviser to art collectors.
