Nymph at the Stream
by STEVENSON, David Watson, White marble, 135 x 96 cm
The Nymph’s calm solemnity, idealised physiognomy and folds of drapery recall the delicate classicism of an earlier generation of sculptors, notably Lorenzo Bartolini. It is one of several ideal works executed by Stevenson, others include, Galatea, Echo, The Pompeian Mother and The Glee Maiden.
