この彫刻について
Ridolfo Sirigatti carved the portrait of his mother, Cassandra, dressed in rich materials. Though her fold-down collar is relatively simple for the time, her dress appears to be made of brocade in the pomegranate pattern popular in Florence. She wears a widow’s veil in commemoration of her husband. In his treatise Il Riposo the writer Raffaele Borghini described the veil as 'a wonderful thing, so delicately worked that one can see the light through it'.

This bust is a rare example of Ridolfo Sirigatti's activity as a sculptor (active ca. 1570-1600). Together with its companion piece, depicting Niccolò Sirigatti (A.12-1961), it shows high technical skill and an unusual and original style in comparison with Florentine contemporary sculpture. The peculiar disposition of the shoulders in both busts, with the right one pulled slightly back from the rest of the figure, and the left pushed slightly forward, shows the artist's intention to give an impression of movement. The bust of the artist's mother displays a finer and more mature rendering of the marble, which is likely related to its later dating (two years after the father's portrait). Specifically, the handling of the veil seems to anticipate Roman 17th century sculpture.
