A Monumental pair of French Empire Terracotta sculpted life size busts and or Herms. French, circa: 1812. Attributed to Antonio Canova (1757-1822) Italian born, active in Paris and London. Measuring: Each : 22.5" high and weight: 150+ Pounds. Dated 1812.<BR><BR>

Each bust hand sculpted in Terracotta is a solid bust and done in the form of a Herm. The portraits are most probably two important public figures of the time and or from a Noble family.<BR><BR>
Each bust is fired Terracotta which as a result makes it heavier than marble and much stronger and dense. The overall condition is good with only minor losses to corners. Original patina though out.
