Thomas Woolner (British, 1825-1892) William E. Gladstone inscribed 'T. Woolner SC., 1882' and 'W. E. GLADSTONE' bronze 33cm high. According to contemporary correspondence only two castings were taken, one of which remained in the artist's studio after his death and which was exhibited by his widow in 1897. In 1927 one of these two busts, identical in every aspect except size (9" high) was presented to the National Portrait Gallery London by Alfred Jones. Philip Mould Historical Portraits apparently had the other version (34.4cm high) and this could be a period recasting of this model. Provenance: with Jeremy Cooper.

Michael Ayrton (British, 1921-1975) Point of Departure, 1970 4/9, signed and numbered bronze on revolving wooden base overall 41cm high, 21.5cm across. Literature: Peter Cannon-Brookes, Michael Ayrton, Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, 1978, p.136. In the summer of 1970 Michael Ayrton finished the bronze Point of Departure, where he assembled the protagonists of his mythological drama for the final time. On one side the Minotaur starts up in alarm, below the figure of Icarus, one of whose wings half covers the sun. On the other side the artist placed his own naked figure, harassed but determined as he strides out of the composition. In the flanking wall beside him is a pierced circle holding the double bladed labrys, the symbol of the maze. (Justine Hopkins, Michael Ayrton - A Biography, published by Andre Deutsch)
