Property of a gentleman from Vienna from his private collection formed since 1970 this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10872-179114. Such busts were used as furniture ornaments. They were cast with a flat back for attachment as an ornament onto an item of furniture, such as a wooden chest for storing fabrics or valuables (see Paul Getty Museum, 1990, p.220"). The image of Socrates was very popular in the ancient world. A bronze statue of the seated philosopher was made by Lysippos in the 4th century BC, probably several decades after Socrates death in 399 BC. Diogenes Laertius (Lives of the Philosophers, II.5.43) writes in the 3rd century AD that Lysippos Socrates was erected in the Pompeion at Athens.
