Buste van Balthasar Moretus III before 1897

This anonymous sculpture, likely created before 1897, is a bust of Balthasar Moretus III. The bust is framed by an intricate decorative border, featuring an eagle and a scroll. It's likely a portrait intended to commemorate Moretus's contributions to the history of the Moretus press, famous for printing books. The detailed carving and realistic depiction of the bust are hallmarks of the Renaissance style, which emphasized classical motifs and human figures.
