I saw this in the gift store at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. (I'd taken my 82 yo Mom there on a visit.) I thought it must be a reproduction in resin, but an ultra fine one, and asked them how much. They apologized and said it was not for sale. It was original. Mrs. Gardner's will stated that nothing in her mansion could be moved, so they had to leave it in the gift shop. Tonight I saw a photo of it in a book, remembered this story, so I drew a picture of it. It was about 3 feet tall, marble. I felt kinda sheepish, but on the other hand, it was the only thing in the gift shop I would have wanted to buy, so, I don't know.
