Om skulpturen
Portraits in ivory were fashionable in the 17th and 18th centuries. Generally elephant or walrus ivory was used. Since the pieces were limited in size the portraits tended to be small, yet they could still be monumental in form. The subject of this relief Princess Charlotte, was the daughter of George IV. She died in childbirth. The ivory is made by John Kelly in 1817 in Britain, and artist of whom little is known.
