Über die Skulptur
The Reverend Nicholas Hill is shown in relief facing to the right. He is dressed in a frock coats with four buttons and a high-necked shirt and is shown wearing a wig, with curls at the side.
There is a handwritten label on the reverse which records that the artist Isaac Gosset married Mr Hill's sister.
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, low relief portraits in wax became popular in Britain and they were often exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Society of Artists and elsewhere. Waxes were used in a similar way to prints and medals, in order to disseminate the image of the sitter, or, like miniature paintings or silhouettes as portable mementoes.
