About the sculpture
An unknown man is shown in relief, in pink wax on black glass. He is dressed in a five button frock coat.
Poole worked as a sculptor and a wax modeller in London and was appointed Medallion modeller to the Prince of Wales.
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.
