"A rare tinted Parian bust of Juno by Copeland. &nbsp;The background colour of the headdress is&nbsp; a pale bluey-green with glazed and gilt highlights which extend into the hair&nbsp; going down to the neck. &nbsp;This bust is illustrated in The Parian Phenomenon page 180 fig 588 and a larger version in Robert Copeland&rsquo;s book &ldquo;Parian - Copeland&rsquo;s Statuary Porcelain&rdquo; page 212 fig B36. The description of this bust is at page 212 B37.&nbsp; Copeland notes that the original Statuary Price Book lists this tinted version at 14/- (14 British shillings (there were 20 shillings in the &pound;1) ) while the plain version was 10/-. Separate socle. &nbsp;Impressed Marks: Malempr&eacute; Copio 1865 Ceramic and Crystal Palace Art Union Copeland.&nbsp;Height: 33cm (13&rdquo;). &nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis striking and regal bust is a copy by Malempr&eacute; of the Roman original in the Museo Nazionale in Rome.\r\n\r\nJuno was the Roman queen of the gods, wife of Jupiter. In Greek she was called Hera, Wife of Zeus.&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLouis Auguste Malempr&eacute; was one of the sculptors of French origin working in a range of materials in England in the 19th century.&nbsp; He worked as an assistant to Theed who sculpted the larger Copeland Parian version of Juno. Malempr&eacute; has more Copeland Parian pieces attributed to him than any other sculptor.&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nCondition: The original socle has been replaced with a period socle by Minton (ermine mark). There is a restored chip to the front edge (see photo). Faint scouring marks to chest. &nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"
