About the sculpture
The sitter of this bust by Richard Westmacott the Younger is Richard Ellison (1788 - 1860), who was a patron of the arts and a collector of watercolours.
Richard Westmacott the Younger R.A. (1799-1872) was one of the Westmacott family of sculptors. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1827. He was elected as member of the Royal Academy in 1849, and in 1857 he took over the role of Professor of Sculpture there from his father Sir Richard Westmacott. This bust was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1855.
