The Bust of Carlo Antonio del Pozzo is a sculptural portrait by the Italian artist
Cassiano del Pozzo, who commissioned Bernini to create the sculpture.[1]
It was acquired by the National Gallery of Scotland in 1986, at a cost of 3m British Pounds, although the value at the time was said to be much higher (around 7.5m pounds). It had previously been in the British stately palace of Castle Howard, since 1715.[2]
