Cesare Lapini was one of a number of prominent sculptors working in Florence in the mid to late 19th century who specialized in marble groups of allegorical, genre and all'antica sculpture for tourists, mainly from England and America. His workshop, the Galleria Lapini, was still operating in 1900. The present marble, with its sweet subject and delicate features, is typical of his oeuvre.
