Their relationship soured and the exchange of likenesses never took place. Thorvaldsen's bust of Camuccini is now in the Thorvaldsens Museum, Copenhagen, having come directly as part of the sculptor's estate. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Surface cracking throughout. Several visible repaired tears, most notably to the left of the sitter's head and continuing through his chest. Stretcher marks visible.
