As such, his work is defined a typically neoclassical depiction of contemporary figures. 'The Highland Mary' portrays Mary Morison - a famous nineteenth-century figure known for holding the affection of Scottish poet, Robert Burns. The sculpture illustrates Burns and Morison's final encounter, in which Burns swears eternal faithfulness, as evoked in his namesake poem:That heart that lo'ed me dearly!But still within my bosom's coreShall live my Highland MaryThe sculpture was first commissioned in 1852 for notable businessman and potter, Charles Meigh, at his new residence of Grove House, in Shelton, Staffordshire. Spence went on to make several versions of 'The Highland Mary', including an example commissioned for Prince Albert as a birthday present to Queen Victoria, which now resides in the Guard Chamber at Buckingham Palace.
