HARDSTONE INTAGLIO RING, ATTRIBUTED TO LUIGI PICHLER, EARLY 19TH CENTURY AND LATER

The carved hardstone depicting a gentleman's head in profile, signed Λ. ΠIXΛEP. ring size approx. H

Footnotes

Luigi Pichler [Pikler] (1773-1854), scion of the celebrated family of German-Italian gem engravers, studied under his elder half-brother Giovanni. Towards the end of the 18th century he visited Austria where he attracted wide foreign patronage and in 1808 was presented to Emperor Francis I in Vienna. In 1818 he was appointed Professor of Gem Engraving at Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna, a post he held until 1850 before retiring to Rome. He was known for his contemporary portraits and "his preferred medium was intaglio distinguished by exquisite polish and often executed in gemstones rather than the more usual hardstones" (Grove Dictionary of Art). Like all members of his family and according to common practice of the day, he signed his work in various ways, including his name and initials in Greek and Roman letters.

Saleroom notices

Please note the intaglio is paste (glass) and not hardstone as stated in the description.
