Planiscig, Venezianische Bildhauer der Renaissance, Vienna, 1921, pp. 570-571, figs, 627 and 629.J. Warren, Medieval and Renasissance Sculpture - A Catalogue of the Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, Oxford, 2014, p. 258, fig. 121.New York, Salander O'Reilly Galleries, Giambologna: An Exhibition of Sculpture by the Master and His Followers from The Collection of Michael Hall, Esq., 6 March - 4 April 1998, C. Avery ed., pp. 158-9, no. 57 (as Hubert Gerhard).M. Schwartz, ed., European Sculpture from the Abbott Guggenheim Collection, New York, 2008, pp. 64-65, no. 26. Note: Examples of this bronze bust have been variously attributed to Hubert Gerhard, Ferdinando Tacca and more generically to the north Italian school of the mid-16th century (see New York, Schwartz and Warren, locs. cit., respectively). Close comparisons may also be made to signed works by the Venetian artist Tiziano Aspetti, whose signed bronze of St Anthony in the Santo, Padua, has similar facial features. The soldier to the left of Aspetti's bronze relief of the Martyrdom of St Daniel also displays the same facial type, curling hair and breastplate centred by a grotesque mask seen on the bust offered here (for both works see Planiscig, loc. cit.). For a comparable example see Christies New York, The Abbot Guggenheim collection, 28 January 2015, lot 41.

FREDERICK WILLIAM POMEROY (BRITISH 1856-1924) WOMAN WITH A SNAKE AND LILIES bronze, greenish brown patina, signed with initials F.W.P. and dated 1914, on a green marble socle and square base, partial gallery label underneath, *HICKSEE & CO. Figure 49cm high, 56cm high overall Note: Frederick William Pomeroy was born in Lambeth on 9 October 1856. He studied at Lambeth School of Art and, from 1881 to 1885, at the Royal Academy Schools in London where he won both a gold medal and a travel scholarship. After travelling in France and Italy, he returned to London and embarked on a career as a sculptor, metalworker, medallist and stone-carver. He was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy in London from 1885 to (posthumously) 1925. Pomeroy was a prominent figure in the major revival of sculpture that took place in England from the 1870s onwards. The New Sculpture, as it was called, was particularly notable for a renewed interest in the techniques of bronze casting, coinciding with a rise in popular taste for Italian Renaissance bronzes.
