Diminutive but weighty dark bronze portrait bust of the great composer, inscribed on the rear with his name, "DONIZETTI." No maker's marks, but probably German, end of the 19th/start of 20th century. With an attractive patina of age, the final "I" of the name somewhat rubbed and lighter, else in fine condition. H: 4.25" L: 2" W: 1.5" (10.5 x 5 x 4 cm)
