Cameo or intaglio. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A blue glass cameo depicting a scene with a distinctly classical influence, showing a seated, semi-nude man wearing a diadem, his legs grasped by a bearded man, all under the watchful gaze of two other male figures. The scene is set in a richly decorated interior, as evidenced by the drapery, table, and axe-thrower. These pieces were produced in significant numbers, as they were highly prized souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, who often acquired several to form collections.
