Summary
BRITISH MUSEUM
Plaster model for the Trinity bust. Described by Dr Maty and the Sale Catalogue as a terracotta, but in fact, like the Barrow, a plaster model from a lost terracotta; unlike that work, its surface has unfortunately suffered in places. The disintegration of a plaster bust whose surface has once suffered is often so rapid that a record of its present state may be of value in the future. It differs from the marble, and from the cast also, Pl. XII, in several details, notably in the way in which a lock of the wig comes forward on to the cheek just above the ear, whereas in the other portraits the wig falls straight to the heavy curl below.
