Liszt, Franz. (1811–1886) [Bovy, J.F. Antoine. (1795–1877)]. Large 1837 Plaster Medallion by J.F. Antoine Bovy. This 1837 medallion, regarded as an excellent likeness of Liszt, shows him in profile to the right with his name engraved around the circumference. Diameter of 12 cm [4.75 inches].
The present example is one of the earliest known sculpted portraits of the composer and apparently predates the examples of Bovy's Liszt portraits in bronze.
