Portraits of artists are distinguished by informal dress, with an unbuttoned shirt and a turban. It is unclear who this bust is of.
The superintendent, Count Carl Johan Cronstedt, has been suggested, but it is more likely to be one of the hired French artists, or a self-portrait. The bust was executed by a member of this circle, recruited for the ornamentation of the Royal Palace – perhaps Cousin or his successor Bouchardon.
These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible. However, the presented scans are not to be regarded as duplicates as due to inaccessible areas etc deviations from the original might occur

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
