Francis van Bossuit佛兰德, 1635–1692可否一睹真容?
阿姆斯特丹, 荷蘭
归属已知。今日是否在展,馆方并未说明,而我们不敢妄加揣测。
Van Bossuit carved a large number of ivories for his most important patron, Petronella de la Court, wife of an Amsterdam merchant. His impressive figure of Mars formed the centrepiece in her cabinet of art, together with an ivory Venus that has not survived. The slightly curving form of Mars follows the arc of the elephant tusk from which Bossuit carved this figure.
