CATALOGUE NOTE
Andrew Ciechanowiecki published the present figure in 1979,identifying it as a bozetto for Lorenzo Vaccaro's marble King Davidin the church of S. Ferdinando in Naples. This model exhibitsstructural details necessary only in the soft medium of terracottaand not present in the finished marble, such as the support for theharp, otherwise differing only in the level of finish. These designconsiderations, as well as a generally sketchy, rapid quality,reveal that it is a preparatory sketch-model for the monumentrather than a copy after the finished work. The statue of KingDavid was in progress when Vaccaro was murdered in Torre del Grecoin August 1706; his son Domenico Antonio, only about twenty five atthe time, undertook to finish the statue of David and its pendantMoses, in order to preserve their glory for his father's name.
