Bust of Thomas Stonor

Description
The sitter was related by marriage to Henry Blundell of Ince, in whose family collection the bust descended. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1803. Nollekens achieves a vivid sense of likeness through the beautiful modelling of the face and the crisply observed details such as his thick eyebrows and curling locks; but there is also an elevated, classical air thanks to the generalised toga-like drapery over his shoulders.
