Orazio Andreoni, who established an international reputation through various works exhibited in Glasgow in 1888 and Berlin in 1892. The artist specialized in classically-draped and scantily-clad marble figures which showcased his superior handling of the medium, as exhibited here in the delicate carving of the bather's suit. Another example of this model sold Christie’s, New York, 18-19 April 2012, lot 483 ($37,500) and another is at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum, Bournemouth, in the Main Hall staircase niche.
