Manufactured by L. Brucciani (uncle to D. Brucciani) who was at 5 little Russel street in 1841-1844 when he retired handing over the business to D. Brucciani who went on to grow the business.
A fantastically modelled plaster 
With historic loss mainly the head of Proserbina and a few fingers.
Still a stunning piece
