Intaglio or cameo, portrait. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. Profile of a relatively young man, with wavy hair, divided into locks, reminiscent of ancient Roman portraits of certain emperors (Julio-Claudian dynasty, for example). These types of pieces were created in large numbers as they were highly prized as souvenirs by Grand Tour travellers, and several were often collected to form collections.
