It is one of the finest terracotta works made by Francesco Ladatte, a bronze sculptor of King Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy. The Fame, placed at the center of the composition, is surrounded by the personifications of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. On the back there is a second female figure, crowned and equipped with a shield, depicting the allegory of Royalty: a clear reference to the task that each sovereign had to promote and protect the Arts and Sciences. There is another version of the work, kept in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
