Lot Footnotes
Note: Alexander Munro was a portrait sculptor, working predominately in marble, bronze and aluminium. He came to London in 1844, under the patronage of Harriet, Duchess of Sutherland, who recognised his artistic talent and introduced him to the leading architect, Charles Barry. By 1848 he was studying in the Royal Academy Schools and met Gabriel Rossetti, who introduced him to friends and other members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle.
Agnes Gladstone (1842-1931) was the oldest daughter of William Ewart Gladstone, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and married Reverend Edward Charles Wickham, headmaster of Wellington College.
An identical example is in the National Museums of Scotland (NG2806).
