An exceptional neoclassical cameo brooch in hardstone, depicting Marcus Agrippa, masterfully carved by the celebrated gem engraver Giovanni Pichler (1734–1791) or his circle. The Roman general and close ally of Augustus is portrayed in high relief with laurel wreath and classical features, evoking the grandeur of Imperial Rome.

Executed around 1800, this piece reflects the height of 18th-century glyptic artistry and the neoclassical revival. Pichler’s work is renowned for its precision, harmony, and depth—qualities clearly present in this portrait.

The cameo is set in an elegant gold mount with sculpted scrollwork, making it wearable as a brooch or collectible as a work of miniature sculpture. A rare jewel of museum quality, ideal for connoisseurs of Grand Tour cameos, Pichler engravings, and ancient Roman iconography.
