專家說明


A cast of Charity was shown in Anning Bell's exhibition at The Fine Art Society in 1907 (no. 39). As Bell wrote in the catalogue for the show 'the reliefs can be repeated, the issue being limited to fifteen examples of each subject, worked upon, coloured and numbered by the Artist'. The present example, numbered 6, was made in 1901 but not coloured until 1907. Where more than one cast of a relief is known, it appears the colour schemes often varied dramatically.
