Wit marmeren pin, koppelstuk tussen portret en sokkel van Johanna Cornelia Ziesenis-Wattier c. 1820

This marble pin, created by Paulus Joseph Gabriël around 1820, served as a crucial component in the construction of a portrait sculpture of Johanna Cornelia Ziesenis-Wattier. The pin acts as a connecting piece between the bust of the sitter and the base of the sculpture. While the sculpture itself is not shown, the pin offers insight into the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail employed by the artist in creating the larger work. The small size of the pin (13 cm high, 11 cm wide, 8 cm deep) highlights the delicate nature of this element, illustrating its essential role in holding the portrait sculpture together.
