Sobre la escultura
Stylistic comparisons of the rough surface treatment of this terracotta suggests the artist executed it in Rome, where he worked with the sculptor Bartolomeo Cavaceppi (1716?-1799). It may have been inspired by an ancient Roman sculpture of a marriage ceremony. Juno Pronuba means Juno who arranges marriages.

Nollekens was a prolific sculptor of portrait busts and operated a thriving workshop in London. He spent eight years in Rome from 1762 to 1770, where he worked with Bartolomeo Cavaceppi restoring and copying antique marbles. One of these copies, his group of Castor and Pollux, is in the Museum's collection (Museum no. A.59-1940). He probably perfected his modelling of clay while he was in Rome and started to experiment in making small figures or groups. These occasionally became models for large-scale finished marbles, but many, like this one, still in his studio at his death, were simply studies in their own right, which he called pensieri (thoughts).
