Provenance:

Property from the Private Collection of Stanley Wagman, Toronto

Note:

Reductions of the Hellenistic marbles excavated at Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli in 1736 were popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries due to their historic, decorative and allegorical appeal; the younger an expression of careless young love in contrast to the wisdom and responsibility of maturity.
