The assumed prime version of the 'Allegory of Sculpture' by Charles Vanloo is part of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco (Mildred Anna Williams Collection, 1950.10). The date of the work is determined 1752-1753 (link). The work offered here may be an earlier version, which was first conceived as a salon decoration.
