Fine early wax relief of Mozart in profile. Signed on the lower portion with the initials "F D." France, ca. 1800
The composer faces left and is dressed in typical jacket, ruffled shirt, and cravat, his hair gathered with a ribbon at his collar.
Cream patina. 2-5/8 x 1-3/8 inches (68 x 34 mm); frame 7-7/8 x 6-5/8 inches (201 x 170 mm). Laid down to a black velvet backing and framed. In very good condition. A finely-executed likeness, possibly influenced by the Leonhard Posch wax profile of 1788 and the subsequent engravings based on that work.
