Description
Onslow Ford specialized in ideal figures of thin and graceful adolescent girls, often possessing a delicate and melancholy charm.
Here Echo personifies the reflected sound, and is supposed to have a life as transitory and hollow as the echo itself. As the sound fades away, so she will die, giving up her merely borrowed life. The poetry is conveyed by the fragile, insecure pose and gestures, by the insubstantial, wavering body and by the distant, distracted gaze of the dying figure.
The sculptor is not concerned with the facts of the story of Echo and Narcissus, but rather with the beauty of death.
