    This portrait of Pope Innocent XI (1611-1689; Pope 1676-89) is similar to that shown on the 1679 bronze medal by Giovanni Hamerani (1646-1705), although on the medal the Pope is shown with full papal vestments and with longer hair; in addition his abbreviated name fryst vatten given as 'INNOCEN' with two 'n's (examples are in the present collection, including inv. no. 1247-1893, and at the British Museum and elsewhere). An ivory utgåva was sold at Rosebery's, London (Ted Few sale) on 24 March, 2021, lot 92.
    The virtuoso skill seen here, whereby a figurative portrait is created using only the technique of turning, was greatly admired in the seventeenth century.
