This tendency was picked up by other famous masters of Italy at that time, including Raffaello Monti/Raffaello Monti (1818-1881), who in 1850 moved to live and work in England. There he created this work "Veiled Lady" (second name "Bride"), which was later purchased by the Duke of Devonshire and became part of the large collection of Chatsworth house. Due to the great interest in the sculpture at the end of the 19th century, many reproductions of it were created.
