Sobre a escultura
Joseph Black was a physician and chemist and was well known in academic circles in Europe and North America in the latter part of the eighteenth century. His work had an important influence on Scottish industrialisation.
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.
