Sulla scultura
This relief in wax depicts George III, King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820.
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.
Catherine Andras was appointed Modeller in Wax to Queen Charlotte in 1802. This relief is one of a framed series which also includes images of Princess Charlotte, the Duke of Kent and George III and George IV as Prince of Wales.
