[Seago, 22 Pimlico Road, London, UK] An important early nineteenth century Coade Stone statue of "A Nymph unclasping her zone" otherwise known as "Venus attiring herself after her bath" after a carved marble sculpture by Sir Richard Westmacott (1775-1856) exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1828, and thereafter at Castle Howard, Yorkshire. (Destroyed by fire, 1940). A plaster version of the same sculpture may be seen at Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the Picture Room where it has been since the room's construction (1824-5). The present sculpture is interesting not least because the original marble no longer exists but because it demonstrates a hitherto unknown connection between Westmacott and the Coade Manufactory. English, circa 1825. Height: 4ft 6in Photo: Don Wood
