Caption
This study of a child by Alfred Drury was extremely popular when first produced in the 1890s and many copies were made, both in bronze, as we have here, and in marble. The V&A have a plaster cast of the bust, probably produced from the original sculpture. Our version was acquired by the Grogans.
