Title:

Statue of Rousseau. Bragg Collection. Photographer: Unknown

Scope & Content:

Genre: Fine Arts, Photography of

'Statue. Black, basaltes. Height, 12 inches. This charming figure was modelled in the autumn of 1779, from a whole-length drawing of Rousseau lent to Wedgwood by Sir Joshua Reynolds...Rousseau is taken as he used to appear while botanizing in the gardens of Ermonville; a walking-stick in his left hand and his hat under his arm. His other hand, extended a little forward, contains a nosegay or plants...In the present instance it [the walking-stick] has been lost, and the right arm has been broken and mended, which gives the limb an air of stiffness. The example given is the only one at present known.'
