Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805)
A miniature head-and-part-shoulders bronze bust of Nelson, on a round socle, mounted with screw fitting on a classical-style bronze plinth. His upper chest and shoulders as far as the outer collar-bone are shown undraped, his hair falling forward in natural style, with no queue, and his head slightly turned to his left.
The piece is inscribed on the back: 'Vist Nelson' and was acquired as part of the Sutcliffe-Smith Collection in July 1974.
