===Leconfield Head=== The ''Leconfield Head'' (a head of the Aphrodite of Cnidus type, included in the 2007 exhibition at the Louvre)<ref>[http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/CGPrograms/Cast/ASP/Cast.asp?CastNo=C178.html Illustration of a cast].</ref> in the Red Room, [[Petworth House]], [[West Sussex]], UK, was claimed by [[Adolf Furtwängler]]<ref>Furtwängler, ''Meisterwerken der Griechischen Plastik'', 1893.</ref> to be an actual work of Praxiteles, based on its style and its intrinsic quality. The Leconfield Head, the keystone of the Greek antiquities at Petworth<ref>Margaret Wyndham, ''Catalogue of the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities in the possession of Lord Leconfield'' (London:Medici Society) 1916.</ref> was probably bought from [[Gavin Hamilton (artist)|Gavin Hamilton]] in Rome in 1755. <!--Awaiting quote from 2007 catagogue to substitute for this blurb:Both are charming works, but seem rather by the successors of Praxiteles than by himself.-->
