Engraving. Plate 222 x 190mm (8¾ x 7½"). Scuffing and soiling; creasing and folds. Scruffy.
A proof engraving, of Georgian sculptor Matthew Cotes Wyatt's design for a memorial sculpture to George III. It represents the king in Roman dress, with sceptre and orb, in a carriage with horses trampling a many headed dragon. Although the design was much praised, its subscription failed in part because of the intended positioning of the statue at Waterloo Place where a statue of the Duke of York would have had its back to George III. Wyatt, son of the architect, James Wyatt, studied at the Royal Academy, and, through the influence of his father, worked on interiors for the king and queen at Windsor Castle. He designed a monument to Nelson in Liverpool and a much admired marble cenotaph for Princess Charlotte. In place of this unrealised design, Wyatt created a more modest bronze equestrian statue of the king now at Pall Mall East.
