專家說明

Ruth H. Cloudman writes, "For a brief time Alexander Pope appears to have been a student of the sculptor William Rimmer, and around 1880 Pope carved several polychromed wood sculptured of hunting trophies on panels, much like the trompe l'oeil paintings he did later. This is an intriguing and isolated instance of still-life sculpture before the 20th century innovations of Pablo Picasso." (The Chosen Object: European and American Still Life, exhibition catalogue, Omaha, Nebraska, 1977, n.p.)
