This exceptional marble bust of Oliver Cromwell was carved by Francis Harwood, a British sculptor who spent most of his career working in Florence.⠀
.⠀
‘This is one of the finest portraits Harwood ever undertook', says Milo Dickinson, our Head of European Sculpture in London (@milo.dickinson).⠀
.⠀
'As Cromwell was opposed to all forms of personal vanity, the artist has left a wart visible over his right eye, in reference to Cromwell’s alleged instruction to be shown with "roughnesses, pimples, warts and everything as you see me".’⠀
.⠀
Francis Harwood (1748-1783), ‘Oliver Cromwell’, 1757. 24 ¼ In (61.4 cm.) high. Estimate: £80,000-120,000.⠀

European Sculpture & Works of Art – 4 December at Christie's London.⠀
