Miniature bust of Benjamin Franklin wearing an overcoat, cravat, and vest. His age is apparent in his wrinkled jowls and creased forehead.

This marble portrait bust of Benjamin Franklin presents the diplomat wearing an overcoat and a loosely tied cravat edged with a fine fringe. His face is highly modeled, and Franklin’s age is apparent in his wrinkled jowls, chin, eyes (without delineated pupils), and forehead. The eyebrows of this bust are well-wrought and bushy, and his full, long hair falls over his ears. There are no identifying signatures, maker’s marks, or dates on the bust. Most documented busts which emerged from Jean-Jacques Caffiéri’s atelier are different in three ways from this object. (1) In all documented plaster busts by Caffiéri, Franklin’s eyes are marked with clearly delineated pupils. (2) No documented bust of Franklin by Caffiéri bears decorative fringe along the edge of the cravat. (3) Caffiéri is not known to have ever executed copies of the Franklin bust in marble. This piece has been attributed to Caffiéri, but may be a high-quality copy after his original composition by Francesco Lazzarini, Giuseppe Ceracchi, or another yet-to-be-identified sculptor. The rendering of details of the cravat and eyes of this bust resemble a full-length sculpture by Lazzarini at the Library Company of Philadelphia.

This small statuette of a male clergy member is molded of off-white clay. The figure wears a range of Roman Catholic vestments including a tricorn hat (perhaps a biretta), a 21-button cassock, and buckled shoes; around the man’s neck is a garment resembling a cross between an amice (which ties at the front of the neck) and a maniple (which hangs over the right arm). The upper portion of the figure’s body and the base of the statuette are soiled with dust, and the right hand of the figure is missing. There are two small chips in the front and top surfaces of the tricorn hat. There is evidence of a repair where the neck of the figure meets the body. Tool marks are visible in the clay body, especially beneath the hem of the cassock and on the underside of the base. No maker’s marks or other identifying inscriptions are visible.
