Baron Carlo Marochetti

This is a portrait of the celebrated Italian egyptologist Bernardino Drovetti (1776-1852) , whose collections formed the basis of Turin's Museo Egizio. The medallion is not dated. Drovetti often visited France, and letters from Marochetti to Drovetti are held at the Museo Egizio. There also exists in the Museo Egizio an unusual wooden bust of Drovetti, which has been attributed to Marochettti, although there is some doubt about this attribution.
