Offered by EHRL Fine Art & Antique
Bust of the Zingara or Fortune Teller, finely carved out of marble. The Zingara is depicted with a cloth tied around her chin, which wraps around her elaborately braided hair and ends in a small lace with dot decoration. She is dressed in a draped cloth and a belt runs across her shoulder.
La Zingara, or the Fortune Teller, is inspired by an ancient sculpture that was in the Villa Borghese from the 17th century until it was moved to the Louvre by Napoleon. Now this "Egyptian Woman" can be found in the Museum of Versailles. The interpretation of this full-figure sculpture as a bust is attributed to different artists.
What is certain is that this type of bust enjoyed great popularity at the end of the 18th century. Very good, carefully cleaned condition.
Delevery information :
The place of performance for all contractual claims is the Seller's place of business (Greding). This shall also apply if the seller sends the goods to another destination at the customer's request (sale by delivery to a place other than the place of performance). If the seller is also responsible for the assembly or installation of the goods at the customer's premises, the place of performance shall be the place of assembly or installation of the goods.
The costs of shipment shall be borne by the customer. The goods shall be shipped to the delivery address specified by the customer. The seller shall not be obliged to ship the goods abroad unless otherwise agreed.
If the customer trades as an entrepreneur and if, at the customer's request, the seller ships the goods to a destination other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss of the goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the carrier or to the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. The seller retains his claim to payment of the purchase price.
If the customer is acting as a consumer and if, at the customer's request, the seller ships the goods to a destination other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss of the goods shall only pass to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment if the customer has commissioned the carrier, the freight forwarder or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer. The seller retains his claim to payment of the purchase price.
If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the event of effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.
In the case of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the customer that the goods ordered by him are ready for collection. The customer may then collect the goods from the seller's registered office by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.
