Terracotta plaque SM M51. ©Sir John Soane's Museum. Photo: Ole Woldbye.
Female figure, perhaps a saint
Terracotta
Height: 34cm
Museum number: M51
Curatorial note
This small figure is probably Italian and the work of a Bolognese sculptor working in the mid-18th century, perhaps Antonio Schiassi (1722-77). It illustrates the catholicism of Soane's tastes which here embrace north Italian rococo.
