## Commentary

Bouchardon carved several remarkable portrait busts. That of Philipp Stosch was the earliest and in some ways the most remarkable. It was completed in 1727 and is consciously revolutionary in its cold, pure classicism.40 Not only the portrait of an antiquarian, albeit a shady one and a spy, it is deliberately antique in concept and execution, it is completely neo-classical.
