[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9726452, member: 79705"]This new listing gave me a good laugh in more ways than one... :smuggrin: [ATTACH=full]472543[/ATTACH] Ah yes, the celebrated VOLTAIRE in his classic....lace cap. I have absolutely no idea how they came to that conclusion. And then there's the price. Did they slip and put an extra zero in, or do they just not want to sell this piece at all? Their other listings are in the realm of sanity. I'm currently refraining from asking them that....and pointing out that's a very nice 19th c lady in a bonnet and not an 18th c Enlightenment philosopher in drag. Of course they did not mention that it is signed by Pio Siotto on the back. The frame is very Castellani-esque, though in a box for Fiorentini. I love that she's wearing a cameo in her cameo.
