Mid-19th-century Neoclassical bust of Erato one of the Nine Muses in Greek mythology
 
Other 19th-century Neoclassical female busts with similar hair treatment, drapery, and symbolic attributes appear in auction records and museum collections. These comparables consistently date to the mid–late 19th century.
 
Erato is one of the Nine Muses in Greek mythology — specifically the Muse of lyric poetry, love poetry, and erotic verse. Her name comes from the same root as eros, meaning love or desire, which is why she’s associated with themes of romance, beauty and emotional expression.
 
Who was Erato
 
A daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Memory). Patron of lyric poets, especially those writing about love. Symbolised by the lyre, sometimes by roses or myrtle.
 
Often depicted as gentle, contemplative, and idealised — Exactly the qualities reflected in many Neoclassical busts.
 
69 cm high with a 90cm pedestal.
