拍品專文

The present athenienne was most certainly executed after engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi after the tripod found at Ostia by Gavin Hamilton in 1775 and published in Vasi, candelabri, cippi (...) disegnati ed incisi dal Cav. Gio. Batt. Piranesi, Rome 1778 (J. Wilton-Ely, Giovanni Battista Piranesi. The Complete Etchings, San Francisco 1994, Vol. II, no. 947-948).
