Where did Rysbrack find the source of his bust of Palladio?
The two engravings above are later than the original Chiswick statue and Chatsworth bust.
suggesting that the artist was familiar with the Rysbrack bust.

In my experience Rysbrack always used engraved portraits as his starting point in his historicising busts.

Plaster Bust.
This bust when photographed was paired with a matching bust of Inigo Jones.
The form of the base between the bust and the socle suggests to me that it is a later cast - perhaps late 18th or Early 19th Century by Shout of Holburn
It lacks the finer detail of the West Wycombe version (above).

The bust of Palladio by Rysbrack seems to have no engraved or painted precedent.
Above is my suggestion - is there a resemblance or is it just me?

No other cast of this bust has so far been
identified. The RIBA Archives contains the letter of 28th November, 1873
(LC/12/1/20) in which R.H. Shout presented this sculpture to the RIBA, describing
the bust as of pewter and as having been in his family for more than fifty
years.
This indicates that this bust had previously belonged to his father, the sculptor Charles Lutwyche Shout and his grandfather, Robert Shout of Holburn, a monumental mason and plaster caster.
