- Abstract
-
"Mrs. Damer, seated in profile to the left, chisels the posterior of a large and realistic Apollo standing in profile to the left holding a spear, the left arm extended. A little girl (left) in 'profil perdu', gazes at the Apollo in astonishment. On a pedestal (left) are two nude figures, one full-face, the other in quasi-back view, drawn with extreme realism. Beside them (left) is an armless torso on a terminal pillar. These three statues are 'Studies from Nature'. On the right is a bust of a child's head in profile to the left, on a pedestal inscribed 'A Model to make a Boy from'. Beside it lie a book, 'Sketches of Different Parts'. Behind Mrs. Damer (left) is a grinning whole length figure of 'Pan'. There are also two figures on tall pedestals: a Hercules and a headless figure, and a bust. All the figures in the studio are completely nude. Mrs. Damer wears gloves; her mallet is raised to strike her chisel."--British Museum online catalogue
