"Negen afgietsels van antieke bustes waaronder Isis, Apollo, Ariadne en de Juno Ludovisi" is a photographic work by H.G. Smith, created before 1874. The image consists of nine photographic reproductions of classical busts, arranged in a grid pattern. The title identifies some of the busts depicted: Isis, Apollo, Ariadne, and the Juno Ludovisi. The work would have been produced to allow viewers to study the form and detail of classical sculptures. This work is an example of photographic documentation of art, a genre common in the 19th century.
