<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 313036, member: 5833"]The one from eBay is obviously a reproduction - they are all over the place. I can't find one to match yours (a very young idealized Catherine). I assume that the Hermitage is like the <a href="https://store.metmuseum.org/home-decor/sculpture/icat/allsculpture" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://store.metmuseum.org/home-decor/sculpture/icat/allsculpture" rel="nofollow">Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> & other large institutions in selling reproductions. They are careful to mark them to make sure they are not mistaken for originals. Things from the met say MMA; your piece says <a href="https://www.hermitageshop.org/sculpture/bronze/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hermitageshop.org/sculpture/bronze/" rel="nofollow">Hermitage</a>. The original is probably at least 3 times larger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
