О скульптуре
Словами музея — на английском
An unknown woman, identified as Lady Bate is shown facing to the left. She wears her hair in ringlets with a bun fastened at the back of her head. The wax is set into a circular metal pendant.
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. Wax was well suited to being cast and reproduced many times over from the same mould in order to propagate an image.
